Sherwin-Williams

We use Sherwin-Williams on projects that demand long-term durability and a flawless finish. The Emerald and Duration lines are workhorses we trust for everything from high-traffic interiors to challenging exterior surfaces in the GTA climate.

Why We Use Sherwin-Williams

We use Sherwin-Williams extensively across our residential and commercial projects because it is one of the most consistently reliable paint lines in the industry. Their Emerald interior paint is our specification for high-traffic areas — hallways, children's rooms, family rooms, and anywhere that sees daily scrubbing — because the durability is genuinely superior. The self-priming formula, excellent hiding power, and washable finish mean we can deliver results that look as fresh in year five as they did on day one. We also appreciate that Sherwin-Williams offers consistent batch-to-batch colour matching, which matters enormously on large commercial projects where paint is purchased across multiple deliveries.

For exterior work, Sherwin-Williams Duration is one of the most performance-proven coatings for Ontario's climate. Its thick, rubber-like consistency bridges small cracks and provides outstanding resistance to moisture, UV degradation, and freeze-thaw cycles. On full exterior repaints where durability is the primary concern, Duration is frequently our recommendation. Their SuperPaint and Emerald exterior lines round out our toolkit for projects at different price points without sacrificing professional quality.

Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap colour matching system is also one of the most sophisticated tools available for colour consultation — something our clients use frequently to visualize spaces before committing to a colour. Their commercial-grade ProMar 200 and ProMar 400 lines allow us to deliver quality commercial painting at a price point that works for property management and multi-unit clients. Whether it is a luxury home repaint or a large condo corridor refresh, Sherwin-Williams has a product in our kit for the job.

Why Sherwin-Williams Stands Out

  • Emerald interior is our spec for high-traffic areas requiring maximum washability
  • Duration exterior performs exceptionally through Ontario freeze-thaw cycles
  • Consistent batch-to-batch colour matching for large commercial projects
  • Extensive product range from luxury residential to commercial-grade lines
  • ColorSnap colour matching system makes client consultations precise and intuitive

Colour guide

Sherwin-Williams colours we are specifying in 2026

The 2026 palette first, then the whites, neutrals, greys and colours we are asked for most. Every swatch below is a screen approximation — Sherwin-Williams does not publish screen values, and every colour shifts with the light in the room. We bring physical chips and sample pots to the estimate so you see the real thing on your own wall.

Colour of the Year 2026
Universal Khaki SW 6150

Most popular Sherwin-Williams colours of 2026

Universal Khaki, the 2026 Colour of the Year, with the Foundational Neutrals and Restorative Darks it was chosen from in the Colormix Forecast 2026 — a return to tailored, timeless neutrals with a few deep anchors.

  • Universal Khaki

    SW 6150

    Colour of the Year 2026. A warm mid-tone khaki with a faint green cast that reads grounded rather than muddy. Whole main floors, and exteriors with white trim.

  • White Snow

    SW 9541

    The forecast's clean white. Trim and ceilings against Universal Khaki walls.

  • Cream and Sugar

    SW 9507

    A soft warm cream. Bedrooms and rooms with limited daylight.

  • Mushroom

    SW 9587

    A light taupe that sits between greige and khaki. Open-plan living areas.

  • Sanderling

    SW 7513

    A sandy tan, a shade warmer than Universal Khaki. Exteriors and mudrooms.

  • Pavestone

    SW 7642

    A silvery mid-grey with warmth. Exterior siding and garage doors.

  • Clove

    SW 9605

    Toasted spice brown. Front doors, islands and a single dining-room wall.

  • Inkwell

    SW 6992

    An inky blue-black. Window frames, exterior trim and interior doors.

Whites

Sherwin-Williams whites run from crisp and cool to soft and creamy. Most of the ones we specify sit just off pure white so trim, walls and ceilings can share a colour without looking clinical.

  • Alabaster

    SW 7008

    The most-requested Sherwin-Williams white. Soft and warm without going cream; walls and trim together in a whole-home repaint.

  • Pure White

    SW 7005

    A neutral white with a touch of softness. Cabinets and trim where Extra White is too stark.

  • Extra White

    SW 7006

    The crispest, coolest white in the deck. Modern interiors and trim against dark walls.

  • Snowbound

    SW 7004

    A white with a whisper of grey. Contemporary condos and rooms with a lot of glass.

  • Greek Villa

    SW 7551

    A creamy white with a warm base. Older homes with stained wood and brass.

  • Shoji White

    SW 7042

    An off-white leaning greige. Walls when the trim is a brighter white.

Warm neutrals & greiges

The main-floor neutrals that replaced flat grey. All of these carry enough warmth to sit well with oak floors and stone, and none of them read as a colour from across the room.

  • Agreeable Gray

    SW 7029

    The best-selling greige in North America. The safe whole-home neutral when a client cannot decide.

  • Accessible Beige

    SW 7036

    A greige that leans beige. Warmer than Agreeable Gray; halls and stairwells.

  • Worldly Gray

    SW 7043

    A soft greige with a green undertone. Rooms with a lot of natural light.

  • Natural Linen

    SW 9109

    A light warm beige. Bedrooms and living rooms in older homes.

  • Balanced Beige

    SW 7037

    A deeper, true beige. Exteriors, and interiors with a lot of white trim to balance it.

  • Kilim Beige

    SW 6106

    A warm tan that pairs with red brick. Traditional homes and exteriors.

Monochromatics — greys, charcoals and black

From the lightest grey with any body down to straight black. Grey has moved off most walls, but it is still the workhorse for exteriors, doors, islands and window frames.

  • Repose Gray

    SW 7015

    A light warm grey. The grey to use if a client still wants grey walls.

  • Mindful Gray

    SW 7016

    One step deeper than Repose. Dining rooms and offices.

  • Dorian Gray

    SW 7017

    A true mid-grey. Lower kitchen cabinets and exterior body colour.

  • Gauntlet Gray

    SW 7019

    A deep warm grey. Exterior siding, and islands against white perimeter cabinets.

  • Peppercorn

    SW 7674

    A soft charcoal. Front doors, and accent walls behind a bed.

  • Iron Ore

    SW 7069

    A softened black and the most popular dark in the deck. Exterior trim, windows and interior doors.

  • Tricorn Black

    SW 6258

    Sherwin-Williams' straight black. Modern-farmhouse windows and exterior trim.

Colours

The blues, greens and earth tones we are asked for most. Most of these behave like neutrals in a room — deep enough to anchor cabinetry or a study without shouting.

  • Naval

    SW 6244

    The navy. Front doors, islands and studies; it sits in a room as a neutral.

  • Evergreen Fog

    SW 9130

    Colour of the Year 2022 and still requested. A grey-green for kitchen cabinets and mudrooms.

  • Pewter Green

    SW 6208

    A deep muted green. Islands, built-ins and exterior doors.

  • Sea Salt

    SW 6204

    A pale green-blue that shifts with the light. Bathrooms and bedrooms.

  • Rainwashed

    SW 6211

    A soft aqua, a touch bluer than Sea Salt. Coastal-leaning bathrooms.

  • Urbane Bronze

    SW 7048

    Colour of the Year 2021. A warm charcoal-brown for exteriors and feature walls.

  • Redend Point

    SW 9081

    Colour of the Year 2023. A blush-beige for bedrooms and dining rooms.

  • Sable

    SW 6083

    A deep red-brown from the Restorative Darks palette. Libraries and a colour-drenched powder room.

Not sure which one?

Colour consultation is part of every Sigma estimate. We look at your floors, light, fixed finishes and the rooms next door, narrow it to two or three, and paint sample boards you can move around the house before a single wall is done.
