Sherwin Williams

Anjou Pear

SW 6381

Anjou Pear (hex #DDAC6D) is a warm orange with golden undertones that produce a rich, earthy character closer to butterscotch than bright citrus. Its LRV of 46 places it at moderate reflectance, providing warmth and depth without absorbing excessive light. The golden-brown base keeps the color grounded and prevents it from reading as overly vivid.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Naval for strong cool-toned contrast, Secret Garden as a complementary deep green, Blonde for a lighter analogous transition, Redend Point for a soft terracotta connection, and Alabaster for clean neutral balance.
