Sherwin Williams

El Caramelo

SW 9106

El Caramelo is a warm, saturated brown-orange with rich amber and earthy undertones, carrying an LRV of 18. Its low reflectance makes it a strong accent choice for feature walls, exterior accents, or rooms where deep warmth is intentional, such as dens or libraries. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Renwick Olive, Toasted Pine Nut, Sturdy Brown, and Tatami Tan, all grounded in similar warm earth tones.

Adequate lighting is recommended to prevent the color from reading overly dark.
