Sherwin Williams

Java

SW 6090

Sherwin-Williams Java is a rich warm red-brown with mahogany undertones and an LRV of 7, making it a deep, low-reflectance color that absorbs significant ambient light. The mahogany base gives it warmth and complexity, distinguishing it from cooler espresso-type browns. It works well on accent walls, built-in cabinetry, exterior doors, or studies where a grounded, dark-value anchor is needed.

Java pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White for trim contrast, and coordinates with Caviar, Rustic Red, Compatible Cream, and Urbane Bronze in traditional or craftsman-style interiors.
