Sherwin Williams

Brevity Brown

SW 6068

Brevity Brown (#715243) is a medium brown with red undertones, producing a warm, earthy tone. Its LRV of 10 means it absorbs most ambient light, which gives it substantial visual weight and makes it best suited for accent walls, studies, or rooms where a darker atmosphere is the goal. The red influence separates it from cooler espresso-type browns and pushes it toward terracotta territory.

Sherwin-Williams Canvas Tan and Wool Skein work as lighter warm neutrals alongside it, while Redend Point and Spiced Cider extend its warm palette. Naval offers a contrasting deep blue option.
