Sherwin Williams

Jute Brown

SW 6096

Jute Brown SW 6096 is a warm neutral brown with a noticeable orange undertone and an LRV of 13, positioning it as a low-reflectance color with significant depth. It reads as an earthy mid-brown that holds warmth without appearing red, performing consistently in studies, dens, and wood-paneled rooms. Under warm artificial light, the orange base becomes more apparent.

It coordinates naturally with Macadamia SW 6142 as a lighter wall companion, and works alongside Latte SW 6108, Camelback SW 6122, Accessible Beige SW 7036, and Urbane Bronze SW 7048.
