Sherwin Williams

Carnival

SW 6892

Carnival from Sherwin-Williams is a vibrant orange with pronounced yellow undertones, registering a hex value of #EB882C and an LRV of 36. At this moderate reflectance level, it reads as a saturated, warm mid-tone that commands attention without excessive brightness. The yellow base gives it a sunlit quality distinct from red-leaning oranges.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Amber Wave and Daring in analogous warm schemes, while Languid Blue provides a cooler counterpoint. Agreeable Gray can be used alongside it to temper the saturation in broader applications.
