What color is Sherwin Williams Outgoing Orange?

Sherwin Williams Outgoing Orange SW 6641 is a warm, mid-tone orange with a softened peach-apricot cast rather than a sharp, high-energy citrus look. Its #e6955f color value gives it noticeable saturation, but the lightness keeps it approachable on a full wall. In bright natural light, Outgoing Orange can read as a sunny peachy orange, while evening lighting brings out a warmer, earthier impression. It suits breakfast nooks, creative workspaces, kids’ rooms, or a lively front door, and it can also make a memorable accent wall. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, pale sand tones, warm wood, woven natural fibers, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.
