Sherwin Williams

Peppery

SW 6615

Peppery is a Sherwin-Williams earthy red-orange with strong terracotta character and visible red undertones in its base. At an LRV of 17, it is a low-reflectance color that absorbs significant light, making it best used on accent walls or in rooms with sufficient natural lighting. The muted saturation prevents it from appearing overly bright, keeping it within a natural, clay-like range.

For balanced schemes, it coordinates with Mindful Gray and Sea Salt as cooler counterpoints, while Alabaster and Shoji White provide clean contrast in trim and ceiling applications.
