Sherwin Williams

Fervent Brass

SW 6405

Fervent Brass from Sherwin-Williams is a warm earthy yellow with a distinct brass undertone that reads as a deep, saturated gold-brown on the wall. With an LRV of 20, it falls into the darker mid-tone category, best suited for accent walls, powder rooms, or rooms with ample natural light. The brass quality keeps it grounded rather than overtly yellow.

Naval works as a contrasting deep accent alongside it, while Urbane Bronze provides a complementary dark neutral. Antique White offers clean trim contrast, and Whole Wheat extends the warm tonal palette.
