Amaryllis

SW 6591

Amaryllis (SW, #ED939D) is a warm, medium-saturation red-pink with a noticeable pink undertone that tempers its warmth. Its LRV of 41 places it in the mid-range, reflecting enough light to avoid heaviness while maintaining clear color presence. The hue reads as a warm coral-pink rather than a true red, and it holds its tone reasonably well across lighting conditions.

Coral Reef and Mellow Coral pair naturally in an analogous scheme, while Pure White or Snowbound provide clean contrast. Accessible Beige and Shoji White offer neutral companions that let the hue remain the focal point.
