Sherwin Williams

Tigereye

SW 6362

Tigereye is a warm, moderately deep orange-brown from Sherwin-Williams with strong amber undertones that give it a distinctly burnished quality. Its LRV of 24 means it absorbs a fair amount of light, reading as a rich mid-tone that carries noticeable warmth. The color sits between a true orange and a brown, making it suitable for accent walls, dining rooms, or any space where a pronounced warm focal point is intended.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Autumnal and Wheat Penny in an analogous warm scheme, while Naval or Secret Garden offer strong cool-toned contrast. Alabaster works well as a clean, light neutral alongside it.
