About Persimmon
Persimmon (SW 6339) is a deep, medium-strength orange from Sherwin-Williams that leans peach. With an LRV of 39, Persimmon absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Persimmon's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for living rooms, bedrooms and accent walls. Next to Rose Tan (SW 0069), it's warmer and more colorful.
