# Sherwin Williams Tanager

Sherwin Williams Tanager SW 6601 is a deep, saturated red with a clear warm cast and a subtle earthy quality. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a dining room, study, powder room, or a dramatic entry wall. In brighter daylight, the red reads more vivid, while lower light brings out its darker, grounded side. Tanager makes a strong choice for cabinetry, built-ins, or a front door when a full-room application feels too bold. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or creamy upholstery to give the color room to stand out.
