Sherwin Williams

Tea Chest

SW 6103

Tea Chest is a deep, warm brown from Sherwin-Williams with a clear orange-brown undertone visible in its #7D644D hex value. Its LRV of 14 indicates that it absorbs a significant amount of light, making it a dark color that reads as rich and saturated on the wall. This depth makes it appropriate for accent walls, built-in cabinetry, libraries, and bedrooms where a low-light, enclosed atmosphere is the goal.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Crème as high-contrast lighter tones, Wool Skein and Accessible Beige as warm mid-range transitions, and Naval as a complementary deep accent.
