Sherwin Williams

Hopsack

SW 6109

Hopsack is a warm neutral with a distinct orange undertone that places it firmly in the earth-tone category. At an LRV of 24, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a grounded mid-tone brown, suitable for accent walls, dens, or exterior trim. It pairs naturally with Kilim Beige (SW 6106), Latte (SW 6108), and Accessible Beige (SW 7036) in transitional spaces.

Using Creamy (SW 7012) for adjacent trim helps maintain warmth while providing enough contrast for architectural definition.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
