Sherwin Williams

Dapper Tan

SW 6144

Dark Auburn (hex #5A3532) is a deep red-brown with strong brown undertones that anchor it closer to earth tones than to true reds. At an LRV of 5, it absorbs nearly all light and functions as a near-dark, reading almost as a dark chocolate-red in lower lighting. The warmth is substantial, driven by red and brown in combination.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster supply the high-contrast light tones needed to balance its depth. Naval offers a cool-toned dark pairing, while Secret Garden provides green contrast. Bravado Red stays within the warm red family for an analogous scheme.
