Sherwin Williams Cardboard SW 6124 is a muted medium brown with warm ochre and clay-like undertones. Its grounded depth gives walls more presence than a pale tan, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly orange. In bright daylight, Cardboard can show a dry golden-brown cast; under warmer lamps, it settles into a richer, earthier brown. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a substantial neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural leather, and medium-to-dark wood finishes.
