Sherwin-Williams and Audimute AcoustiColor® Acoustic Panels: The Perfect Blend

Audimute AcoustiColor acoustic panels blend in with their surroundings

 
Customers love our AcoustiColor® acoustic panels, tiles, shapes, and planks not just because of their excellent sound-absorbing properties (with NRC ratings of .95, they absorb sound as well as our Fabric Acoustic Panels) but also because they can be coated to match any color from Sherwin-Williams
 
And while some opt for vibrant, stand-out-from-the-crowd colors like Vigorous Violet or Organic Green, many of our clients instead use simpler, more neutral shades from Sherwin-Williams to create acoustic treatments that blend in with their surroundings. 
 
Here's a few of the most popular "blend-in" Sherwin-Williams colors included among our standard AcoustiColor options: 
 
Argos (SW 7065)
 



With its undertones of blue and green, this neutral gray can complement all sorts of décor and furniture choices. We love it for AcoustiColor acoustic solutions in offices, workplaces, and houses of worship, where its strong simplicity blends in with the more reserved surroundings. 


Tricorn Black (SW 6258)



This true black color is a perennial favorite. We love it for AcoustiColor acoustic solutions in breweries, bars, or anywhere with exposed ceilings, where, when installed as a ceiling application or between joists, it absorbs sound while disappearing visually. 
 
 
Software (SW 7074)



Sherwin-Williams calls this a "deep, charcoal gray" - to us, it's a happy medium between the lighter Argos and the darker Tricorn Black. We love it for AcoustiColor acoustic solutions in spaces where brighter, warmer colors are at play in the décor or furniture, or in more industrial spaces like warehouses. 


 
Here's two other popular colors that can be added as custom AcoustiColor options: 
 
Accessible Beige (SW 7036) 
With recent design trends moving toward beige, Sherwin-Williams' Accessible Beige has become one of the brand's most popular colors. We love it for AcoustiColor acoustic solutions in restaurants, homes, or community centers, where it helps reflect light, adds a sense of calm, and pairs well with almost any design.
 
Alabaster (SW 7008) 
Soft and warm, this white is classic and comforting. We love it for AcoustiColor acoustic solutions in schools or healthcare facilities, where its timeless look blends in well with the more reserved surroundings.
