Sherwin Williams

Cayenne

SW 6881

Cayenne by Sherwin-Williams (#C04D35) is a bold, warm orange with strong red undertones and an LRV of 17, indicating a deeply saturated, low-reflectance color. Its intensity makes it most effective in controlled applications such as accent walls, doors, or focal-point cabinetry rather than full-room coverage. The red base gives it a spicier warmth compared to yellow-leaning oranges.

Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray and Accessible Beige help moderate its impact in surrounding surfaces, while Naval provides a deep blue contrast. Copper Harbor and Armagnac sit nearby on the warm spectrum for cohesive analogous schemes.
