In the world of interior design, color can set the tone for everything—from the mood of a room to the materials that support it. Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Month for May, Shiitake, is a subtle, earthy neutral hue that proves beige doesn’t have to be boring. With understated sophistication, Shiitake’s versatility makes it a favorite for both modern and traditional spaces.

Shiitake is a warm greige with taupe undertones, offering just enough color to stand on its own while playing well with other elements. Below, we’ve chosen three tile pairing options from Best Tile: one that echoes Shiitake’s earthy tone as an alternative to paint, one that offers tone-on-tone continuity, and another that complements it with depth and texture. If you’re looking for a tile that perfectly matches this warm, earthy hue and can be used in place of paint, try our Precious Gems Essentials Glass Tile Collection in “Champagne Diamond”. Its glass surface gracefully reflects light, adding a touch of luminous elegance and dimension to any space while maintaining its warm, calming ambiance. To extend Shiitake’s tone to the floor, our Stoneways porcelain tile in “Flight” color offers a stunning, blended stone look that aligns beautifully with the paint color, creating a seamless, monochromatic look. Finally, to complement Shiitake and add depth and texture to your space, consider using our Canton slate look porcelain tiles in “Ivory” colorway. Its warm beige undertone, with brown and cream inclusions and a windswept clefted surface enhances Shiitake’s natural and earthy vibe. 

Whether you're updating a kitchen, designing a bathroom, or creating a cozy retreat, Shiitake is a neutral hue done right. When paired with the right tile, your space will look anything but ordinary.
