Sun Bleached Ochre

SW 9011

Sun Bleached Ochre is a warm, mid-toned ochre with orange undertones that give it an earthy, sun-faded quality. With an LRV of 47, it reflects a moderate amount of light, sitting in the middle of the brightness scale and adding color to walls without creating a dark room. It is functional in living areas, kitchens, and dining rooms.

For coordination, Sherwin-Williams Creamy and White Duck serve as lighter neutral companions, Iron Ore and Naval provide strong dark contrast, and Evergreen Fog adds a muted green complement.
