Sherwin Williams

Husky Orange

SW 6636

Husky Orange is a vibrant warm orange with red undertones and an LRV of 19. At this depth, it reads as a bold, saturated terra-cotta-leaning orange suitable for accent applications, front doors, or feature walls in spaces that benefit from strong color presence. Its red undertone distinguishes it from golden or yellow-based oranges.

Effective Sherwin-Williams pairings include Cavern Clay, Alabaster, Urbane Bronze, Fired Brick, and Creamy, which help balance its intensity with grounding neutrals or complementary warm tones.
