Sherwin Williams

High Tea

SW 6159

High Tea is a warm muted yellow with a noticeable brown undertone, registering an LRV of 17. At this depth, it functions almost as a mid-tone neutral with earthy warmth, making it practical for studies, libraries, or dining rooms where a subdued atmosphere is desired. The brown undertone keeps it from reading as a true yellow, shifting it toward a soft umber territory.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Urbane Bronze, Creamy, Dover White, and Brainstorm Bronze in layered neutral schemes.
