Sherwin Williams

Caraïbe

SW 9090

Caraibe is a rich, earthy brown with subtle orange undertones, identified by hex #785F4C. Its LRV of 13 means it absorbs a significant portion of light, producing a darker, grounded appearance best used in well-lit areas or as an accent. The hue sits firmly in the warm brown family with a reddish-orange lean that distinguishes it from cooler taupes.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster offer lighter, warm contrast that balances its depth. Naval brings a bold cool-toned counterpoint, while Bravado Red pushes the palette into deeper warmth and Debonair softens the overall composition.
