Sherwin Williams

Sable

SW 6083

Sable is a deep, warm brown with muted orange undertones that place it between raw umber and a weathered wood tone. At an LRV of 8, it absorbs most available light, making it best suited for accent walls, cabinetry, built-ins, or smaller rooms where a darker backdrop is intended. The hue leans toward the orange family but remains subdued enough to read as a grounded neutral brown.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Creamy for necessary lightness, Ripe Olive for earthy green contrast, Silvermist for a cool complement, and Rain for a softer blue counterpoint.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
