Sherwin Williams

Baked Clay

SW 6340

Baked Clay (hex #C1785C) is a warm, earthy orange grounded by terracotta undertones that give it a distinctly organic, clay-like appearance. At an LRV of 26, it absorbs a substantial portion of light, reading as a solid mid-dark tone on walls. The terracotta influence keeps it from appearing too bright, pulling the orange into a more muted, reddish-brown range.

Sherwin-Williams Amber Wave and Copper Mountain work as analogous companions to build a cohesive warm scheme. Naval offers a strong cool contrast, while Shoji White and Accessible Beige provide lighter neutral balance against its depth.
