When Sherwin‑Williams announced Universal Khaki (SW 6150) as its 2026 Color of the Year, they highlighted a color chosen for its calm, classic character and timeless flexibility. This warm, grounded neutral balances livability and longevity—perfect for homeowners who want a space that feels fresh now and will stay beautiful for years to come. 

Why Sherwin‑Williams Selected Universal Khaki 

Sherwin‑Williams’ color experts describe Universal Khaki as a mid-tone neutral with a subtle yellow undertone. It reflects the growing desire for interiors that create comfort and connection. It pairs easily with wood, stone, woven textures, crisp whites, and richer accents. This thoughtful choice gives homeowners a versatile canvas for layering textures and personal style.
