Sherwin Williams Yam SW 6643 is a medium-depth orange with a clear earthy, clay-like cast rather than a bright citrus tone. Its #c36f3e color value gives it noticeable warmth and saturation, with brown undertones that keep the orange grounded. In direct daylight, Yam can read as a clean sunbaked orange, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper terracotta character. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, front door, or accent wall, and can also make a strong statement on painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm whites, muted olive greens, deep charcoal, natural wood, and aged brass for a layered, material-rich look.
