Sherwin Williams

Sockeye

SW 6619

Sockeye is a warm orange with coral undertones, registering an LRV of 40 in the medium-light reflectivity range. The hue carries a distinct salmon-peach quality, with enough saturation to read clearly as orange rather than neutral. It functions well as an accent color in kitchens, breakfast nooks, or creative workspaces.

On larger surfaces, it benefits from pairing with lighter values. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster provides clean contrast, Creamy offers a softer transition, Dovetail adds a grounding mid-tone gray, Naval introduces complementary depth, and Filmy Green balances its warmth.
