Sherwin Williams

Ambitious Amber

SW 6366

Ambitious Amber (hex #F0CB97) is a warm, light orange with noticeable yellow undertones that give it a sun-washed quality. At an LRV of 64, it reflects a substantial amount of light, making it functional in rooms that benefit from apparent brightness without stark whiteness. The yellow-orange balance keeps the color from reading too peachy or too golden.

It layers effectively with Sherwin-Williams White Raisin for a close tonal match, Butter Up as a lighter analogous companion, Java for deep contrast, Billiard Green for a complementary anchor, and Filmy Green for a cooled-down pairing.
