Sherwin Williams

Autumnal

SW 6361

Autumnal (hex #CD8C5D) is a warm orange with pronounced earthy undertones, carrying an LRV of 33 that gives it moderate depth and light absorption. The hue leans toward burnt sienna rather than bright citrus, producing a dense, clay-like warmth well suited to rustic or layered interiors. It pairs naturally with analogous tones like Sherwin-Williams Golden Rule and Mannered Gold, extending the earthy palette in a cohesive direction.

For contrast, deep blues such as Naval or saturated greens like Secret Garden sharpen its warmth. Muted neutrals including Natural Linen or Creamy help moderate its intensity on larger surfaces.
