Sherwin Williams

Fiery Brown

SW 6055

Fiery Brown by Sherwin-Williams is a deep muted brown built on a red base, producing an earthy tone with noticeable warmth. At an LRV of 5, it is a very dark color that absorbs significant light, making it most practical as an accent wall, exterior body color, or in spaces where dramatic depth is intended. The red undertone becomes more apparent in warm lighting conditions.

Given its depth, pairing with lighter colors is essential for balance, and Shoji White and Windfresh White both provide the necessary contrast for trim and adjacent surfaces.
