Sherwin Williams

Serape

SW 6656

Serape is a saturated warm orange with distinct terracotta and burnt sienna undertones, giving it an earthy rather than bright-orange appearance. At an LRV of 34, it sits in the lower-middle range of reflectance and will read as a rich, warm-toned color on the wall. It is commonly applied in dining rooms, accent walls, and spaces with Southwestern or rustic design influences.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Accessible Beige work as lighter counterpoints, while Wheat Penny, Fired Brick, and Cavern Clay maintain a cohesive warm earth-tone palette alongside it.
