How it reads
Mulberry Silk SW 0001 is a muted mauve-brown in Sherwin-Williams' Historic Color family, with an LRV of 20.43.
In the MONIOMI Design bedroom on this page, photographed by Jeanne Canto, it is colour-drenched over walls and ceiling with matching rose curtains, a burl-wood dresser and a curved upholstered bed.
What Mulberry Silk is
Mulberry Silk SW 0001 belongs to Sherwin-Williams' Historic Color family. Its hex is #94766C and its LRV 20.43.
On screen and in the room here it reads as a softened mauve-brown: rosy in daylight, closer to cocoa in shadow.
How it behaves in light
At an LRV around 20 it absorbs most of the light in a room, so it suits spaces where depth is the goal rather than brightness.
We have no designer commentary on how it shifts with orientation, so sample it on site.
Where to use it
In the MONIOMI Design bedroom on this page, photographed by Jeanne Canto, Mulberry Silk covers walls and ceiling, with floor-length curtains in a matching rose, a burl-wood dresser and a cream curved bed.
The tonal approach is what makes it work: pale bedding and warm wood stand out against the enveloping colour.
What it sits next to
Sherwin-Williams coordinates it with Malabar SW 9110 and Serengeti Grass SW 9116.
On this site, compare it with Hushed Auburn and Sandbank from the same MONIOMI Design project. Matchmypaintcolor lists Benjamin Moore Weathered Bark 2098-40 as its closest Benjamin Moore match.
