# Sherwin Williams Chamois

Sherwin Williams Chamois SW 6131 is a medium, earthy tan with clear golden-brown and muted orange undertones. Its depth gives walls more presence than a pale beige, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright or coppery. In warm daylight, Chamois can show a sunbaked ochre cast; under cooler artificial light, it tends to settle into a grounded brown-tan. It suits dining rooms, studies, and entryways, especially alongside creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, and aged brass. Pair this color with walnut, cognac leather, woven textures, or terracotta accents to reinforce its warm, natural character.
