Hue Family Shiitake SW 9173
In context of its Hue Family neighborhood, 1 Y (Yellow) on The Color Strategist Color Wheel. The pink arrows point to where it fits in among the other colors according to its Value 7.68 rounded to 7.62 and Chroma of 1.38 rounded to 1.25.
Does the Sherman Williams color 9173 Shitake have any pink or green undertones to it and if not what color undertones does it have?
Thank you
Paint colors don’t actually have “undertones”. Undertones are just someone’s subjective opinion about what they think a color looks like under whatever random light source they happen to be viewing it under.
Shitake is a muted color and it belongs to the Yellow hue family over near the Yellow-Red hue family. Because it’s so close over next to the Yellow-Red hue family, it’s possible in certain qualities of light that you could see moments of peachiness.
In order for Shitake to look greenish, it would take the perfect combination of lighting and context to cause that kind of shift. Not saying it’s not possible but it’s unlikely.
Will SW shitake 9173 walls go with SW 7008 Alabaster cabinets and trim?
Yes, definitely. Hue Family relationship is good and there’s a big difference in Chroma. You can check out where Alabaster falls on The Color Strategist Color Wheel here: https://campchroma.com/the-17-best-white-paint-colors/
Hi! I’m wondering if shiitake kitchen cabinets would go with SW agreeable gray wall color on an adjacent walls? Thanks so much!

Possibly. They do relate because they are in the same hue family pocket in color space. Just make sure you like how they look together in your space and lighting.
Does shitake go with cherrywood cabints and brown leather furniture/ What color would compliment that as an accent.
Did you use Shitake with cherry your cabinets? Wondering if it worked out, about to print my cherry kitchen Shitake.
I have all cream trim, doors, and plantations shutters (Dunn Edwards Cottage White). Will Shitake work with it? Trying to find something that “brightens” the cream, instead of yellowing. I had SW Nomadic Desert, which did the trick, but it’s now too orangy for me.
Hi Amy,
Technically, factually there is enough difference in Chroma between Cottage White and Shitake for them to work together. Just make sure you like the look.
I just painted Shitake walls in rooms that have SW antique white trim. I thought that the trim might be too yellow to go with Shitake but it looks great. I painted the ceiling SW Creamy, and all the colors look great together and I am picky. And to answer Amy’s question I think it does “brighten” the trim and ceiling paint and did not yellow it at all. Every room has different lighting of course but in my experience its a great neutral color.
I have a red couch and currently have Dorian Gray walls. I am thinking of changing to Shittake. Do you think that would work? The room is well lit. Thank you .
Sure, it could work. The color relationship would work because of how close Shitake is to the yellow-red hue family.
Would Shittake on my kitchen wall pair well with orange-y oak cabinets?
Hard to say without some color measurements, pictures and more info. I’m not taking new clients right now but here’s a list of Color Strategist that I’ve certified in my color training program. Hope this helps: https://campchroma.com/certified-color-strategists/
I’m in a similar situation and wondering if you went with shiitake? If so, how did it go, or what did you end up using?
Builder home only comes with a single paint color and a single trim color. A home in central Texas with lots of windows (at least when built). Wanted a “neutral” but not one that’s so light it would wash out. I’m thinking Shiitake with SW pure white for trim color and kitchen cabinets. Only other color will be Urban bronze for kitchen island and the front/back door. Do you think these colors will “flow” together for a warm cozy country feel? Has anyone else tried shiitake for the majority of their home.
