Sherwin Williams

Coriander Powder

SW 9025

Coriander Powder (hex #BA9C75) is a warm, earthy yellow-brown with an LRV of 36, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. Its distinct brown undertone grounds the yellow base, producing a color that reads closer to a muted ochre or dark goldenrod than a clean yellow. This gives it an organic, clay-like quality on walls.

Sherwin-Williams Nomadic Desert and Latte complement it within the same warm-neutral family, while Sherwin-Williams Urbane Bronze adds dark contrast. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster works as a clean, creamy white to lighten surrounding surfaces.
