Sherwin-Williams' color of the month is the mushroom-toned neutral you didn't know you needed – Shiitake is the perfect soft hue for any aspect

A coastal sitting room with neutral couch, chairs and coffee table in pale wood, the walls are panelled and painted in Sherwin Williams Shiitake.

Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Month for May, Shiitake (SW 9173), is a quietly complex neutral that sits comfortably within the warm stone palette. Reminiscent of natural materials like moleskine, clay, and aged limestone, it offers a grounded, organic presence without veering into trend-driven territory.

With its refined balance of beige and gray undertones, Shiitake lends itself to sophisticated, understated interiors where texture and tone take precedence over bold color.
