Sherwin Williams

Spicy Hue

SW 6342

Spicy Hue is a deep, warm orange with prominent red undertones, registering an LRV of 12, which places it in the low-reflectance range suitable for creating contrast and visual weight. The hex value #994B35 confirms its earthy, burnt-orange character. This color works well on accent walls in dining rooms or studies where a concentrated warm focal point is needed.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Naval for a strong warm-cool contrast, Foothills for an analogous earth-toned scheme, Harmonic Tan for a softer transitional pairing, Pure White for brightness relief, and Cavern Clay for tonal warmth.
