Sherwin Williams

Berry Frappé

SW 9068

Best Bronze (#5D513E) is a deep, warm brown with distinct yellow undertones and an LRV of 9, meaning it reflects very little light and reads as a dense, earthy tone. The yellow base gives it a golden-brown warmth that separates it from cooler or redder browns. It functions well in low-light or accent applications where substantial depth is needed.

Sherwin-Williams Nomadic Desert and Ramie work as lighter warm companions, while Alabaster can offset its heaviness. Rainstorm or Naval introduce cooler contrast without creating visual discord.
