Canvas Tan Colour Review
Undertone: green
Colour Comparisons
Canvas Tan is a beige with a green undertone.
We can better identify the undertone of a colour such as this when we compare it to other neutral paints in the beige family.
Patience SW 7555 and Accessible Beige SW 7036
From the comparison graphic above the true colour of Canvas Tan becomes much clearer.
Patience, shown on the top, is a pink beige.
Accessible Beige has a green undertone, but is more intense than Canvas Tan.
When looking at my large colour boards, a close comparison to Sherwin Williams’ Canvas Tan is Muslin by Benjamin Moore, even though it is a pink beige.
Best Whites To Pair With Canvas Tan
Extra White SW 7006 by Sherwin Williams
Greek Villa SW 7551 by Sherwin Williams
Dover White SW 6385 by Sherwin Williams
Extra White, Greek Villa and Dover White
See all three together to get a better sense of these recommended whites to use with this Sherwin Williams neutral paint colour.
They don’t even look white when you see them on the super white backdrop of my website!
That’s why choosing white paint colours can be a daunting task when decorating your home.

Fabulous Colour Combinations
Canvas Tan with Reddened Earth, Black Fox and Blustery Sky
Yes, other warm colours are back in style too! I am loving this combination with the cool blue.
Reddened Earth SW 6053 by Sherwin Williams
Black Fox SW 7020 by Sherwin Williams
Blustery Sky SW 9140 by Sherwin Williams
Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball is similar to Sherwin Williams’ Blustery Sky, but just a little more green.
The beautiful fabric here demonstrates exactly how a complementary colour palette can be used to bring a room together.
Walls painted Canvas Tan, some stunning drapery in the above fabric, an area rug with a strong Blustery Sky shade to it and accent pieces with hints of Reddened Earth and Black Fox. Gorgeous.

| 8 October 2022Your rederings stink for showcasing the wall colors. It looks fake, probably because it is. Your color stories are terrific. I would like to see the paint color in a real room. I look forward to your picks and have trouble visualizing the color through a rendering.

| 4 November 2022Hi Brian. We haven’t used this colour yet, so that’s why we have to share it in renderings.

| 25 March 2023What is the name of the fabric in your example and where is it available to see? Also, I have white washed maple cabinets that I am looking for a wall color for. Your thoughts?
Claire Jefford
| 31 March 2023Hi Deborah. Unfortunately, that fabric is discontinued and we no longer have details of it. For your white washed maple cabinets and wall colour question, you need to look at your counter, backsplash and any other hard design elements together to best determine what paint colour will work best.
