Sherwin Williams

Chrysanthemum

SW 6347

Chrysanthemum (hex #C47B5B) is a warm, saturated orange with earthy red-brown undertones that give it a burnished, clay-like character. Its LRV of 27 places it in the lower-mid range, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a distinctly bold tone on the wall. The hue carries enough depth to function as an accent or feature color without appearing neon or overly bright.

It contrasts sharply with deep values like Sherwin-Williams Naval or Secret Garden, blends with analogous earth tones such as Cavern Clay or Reddened Earth, and can be tempered by warm neutrals like Shoji White.
