Sherwin Williams

Sawdust

SW 6158

Sawdust is a warm, earthy tan-brown from Sherwin-Williams with yellow-brown undertones that give it a natural, muted quality. At an LRV of 26, it sits in the lower-mid range of reflectance, providing noticeable depth while still functioning as a neutral. Its subdued warmth and moderate saturation make it a practical choice for studies, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded backdrop is needed.

The color works well with natural wood and stone materials. Sherwin-Williams Wool Skein and Nomadic Desert offer lighter tonal companions, Urbane Bronze provides deeper contrast, and Dried Thyme introduces a muted green complement.
