Sherwin Williams

Windswept Canyon

SW 9010

Windswept Canyon is a warm, mid-toned earthy orange from Sherwin-Williams with an LRV of 43, placing it in the moderate light-reflectance range. Its orange undertones give it a distinctly sun-baked, terracotta-adjacent quality that reads as grounded rather than bright. This color works well on accent walls in living rooms or as a dominant tone in dining spaces with warm lighting.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for trim contrast, Creamy for a tonal warm scheme, Redend Point for analogous pairing, and either Rainwashed or Naval to introduce a cooler counterpoint.
