Sherwin Williams

Craft Paper

SW 6125

Craft Paper (SW, #8A6645) is a mid-depth warm brown with yellow undertones that give it a raw, organic quality similar to unbleached paper products. Its LRV of 15 places it in the lower-mid range of reflectance, absorbing more light than it returns and lending noticeable weight to surfaces. The yellow cast distinguishes it from cooler or redder browns, keeping it firmly in the warm-neutral category.

Sherwin-Williams Wheat Grass and Blonde complement its earthy warmth at slightly different values. Accessible Beige or Creamy lighten the palette, while Naval or Rookwood Red introduce deeper contrast.
