# Sherwin Williams Andiron

Sherwin Williams Andiron SW 6174 is a deep, muted charcoal with a noticeable olive-brown cast that keeps it from reading as a plain black or gray. Its low saturation gives the color an earthy, softened appearance, especially in rooms with warm wood flooring, aged brass, or natural stone. In bright daylight, Andiron can reveal more of its subdued green-khaki undertone, while evening lighting makes it feel darker and more graphite-like. Use this shade on cabinetry, a library wall, exterior trim, or a small powder room where its depth can be intentional rather than overpowering. It pairs well with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, blackened metals, and medium-to-dark woods.
