Sherwin Williams

Persimmon

SW 6339

Persimmon is a Sherwin-Williams medium-depth orange with warm, earthy undertones that give it a muted, sun-faded quality rather than a saturated bright orange appearance. With an LRV of 39, it reflects a moderate amount of light, placing it between bold accent shades and lighter peach tones. It is commonly applied in dining rooms, kitchens, and as an accent in living areas with natural wood elements.

Shoji White and Wool Skein help temper its warmth when used on adjacent surfaces, while Smoky Azurite and Retreat provide cooler contrast in complementary pairings.
