Sherwin Williams

Ginger Root

SW 9095

Ginger Root is a warm earthy orange with brown undertones, offering an LRV of 50 that places it in the mid-range for light reflectance. This muted, neutral-leaning tone works well in living rooms, hallways, and transitional spaces where a grounded warmth is needed without overwhelming brightness. It coordinates naturally with Canyon Clay and Armagnac for tonal layering, while Naval provides a strong contrast accent.

Rookwood Dark Green introduces depth, and pairing with Alabaster or Shoji White on trim keeps the palette balanced and clean.
