Sherwin Williams

Terra Brun

SW 6048

Terra Brun is a deep brown from Sherwin-Williams with pronounced red undertones that push it toward a warm, reddish-umber character. With an LRV of 5, it absorbs nearly all ambient light, making it one of the darker options in the catalog and best suited to accent walls, studies, or dining rooms where a low-light atmosphere is intentional. Its warm base pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Kilim Beige and Wool Skein for a grounded earth-toned scheme, while cooler options like Sea Salt or Tradewind provide tonal contrast.

Brass or copper hardware tends to read well against this depth of color.
