Sherwin Williams

Determined Orange

SW 6635

Determined Orange is a saturated, warm orange with earthy red undertones that ground it compared to brighter citrus tones. With an LRV of 22, it falls in the medium-dark range and works well on accent walls, front doors, or in dining spaces where warmth is desired. Its terracotta-like depth keeps it from appearing overly vivid in natural light.

Determined Orange coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Dover White and Creamy as lighter companions, while Fired Brick and Cavern Clay offer tonal warmth, and Intellectual Gray provides a grounding neutral contrast.
