Portabello

SW 6102

Portabello is a warm, mid-dark brown-beige with noticeable orange undertones that give it an earthy, grounded quality. At an LRV of 21, it absorbs a considerable amount of light, placing it in the darker range where it functions well on accent walls, lower cabinetry, exterior siding, or in rooms with strong natural light. The orange undertone becomes more pronounced under warm incandescent lighting.

This shade is frequently used in rustic, traditional, and craftsman-style interiors. It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Wool Skein as a lighter warm neutral, Alabaster for bright trim contrast, Naval for a deep complementary accent, and Tatami Tan for a tonal earth-toned scheme.
