Sherwin Williams

Blushing

SW 6617

Blushing (hex #F0D1C3) is a soft, warm peach with clear orange undertones that keep it from reading as pink. Its LRV of 68 places it in the light-to-medium reflectance range, providing brightness without appearing washed out. The warm, slightly rosy base works across both modern and traditional interiors, lending subtle warmth to walls and trim.

Analogous pairings with Sherwin-Williams Coral Reef and Charming Pink maintain tonal warmth, while Naval and Enduring Bronze offer deep contrast. Alabaster and Shoji White serve as clean neutrals that support the peach tone without competing.
