Sherwin Williams

Swing Brown

SW 6046

Swing Brown is a mid-depth brown from Sherwin-Williams that carries clear red undertones, giving it a warm, reddish-brown character rather than a purely neutral brown. With an LRV of 20, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a darker, grounding wall color. It is commonly applied in dining rooms, studies, and living rooms where a warm enclosure effect is desired.

Swing Brown works alongside Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige for lighter wall transitions, Wool Skein as a coordinating neutral, Alabaster for contrasting trim, and Naval for a complementary blue accent.
