Sherwin Williams

Moroccan Spice

SW 6060

Moroccan Spice is a warm earthy red with a clear terracotta undertone, carrying an LRV of 22. At this reflectance level, it reads as a grounded mid-tone that retains warmth without overwhelming a space. The terracotta base keeps it from veering toward primary red, lending it a natural, clay-like quality suited to kitchens, dining areas, or exterior accents.

It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White, Urbane Bronze, Accessible Beige, and Cavern Clay for cohesive warm-toned palettes.
