If you’re wondering what colors coordinate with SW 9109 Natural Linen here’s two color palettes to try.
Want a designer look? Use coordinating colors throughout your home.
Sherwin Williams Natural Linen is a warm neutral that’s super versatile. Although it’s considered a “yellow”, SW 9109 has more of a pinkish undertone to it. But it’s definitely neutral, not too cool or too warm.
Don’t confuse SW 9109 with Benjamin Moore Natural Linen – they’re two different shades.
It’s no secret the top selling paint shades are all neutrals. Natural Linen is a neutral that makes more of an impact than white or cream, but doesn’t overpower the room!
Natural Linen or Accessible Beige?
Accessible Beige SW 7036 is another top seller and I’ve used it many times. It’s that perfect shade – not too beige/brown – warmer than a gray.
Natural Linen is a shade lighter than Accessible Beige; a little creamier and without the grayish undertone of Accessible Beige which makes it more of a greige.
What does this mean? Pick Natural Linen if you want a lighter creamier beige that’s a little more modern. And versatile. Pick Accessible Beige if you want a slightly deeper color or you’re trying to match existing flooring.

How to Use a Color Scheme
Choosing one of these color palettes or schemes is the first step in designing any space. Using consistent colors throughout your home makes it feel calmer, more pulled together and intentional. You never have to stop and wonder what do I do now?
Does this mean you can’t use any other colors? Of course not! Absolutely use accent colors in accessories, furniture and flooring.
Use these color palettes for your walls, but also use them to pick other wall and flooring finishes like rugs and tile. Not sure about the tone in a rug sample? Hold it up to the paint swatch and look at it in natural light. Use your paint swatches to pick tile backsplash and bathroom tile.
Use your colors as a guide to choosing the color of any large piece of furniture like a sofa. Same with curtains or window treatments. Every time you repeat these colors, whether as a solid (painted wall), a texture (flooring) or a pattern (fabric) you’re making this color thing work. Your home will thank you.
Use your 4 color palette as your go to decision maker when making those sometimes tough choices about what to buy, what to keep or what to get rid of in your home.
