Sherwin Williams

Bolero

SW 7600

Bolero (hex #903934) is a deep, warm red with muted undertones that keep it from appearing overly bright or primary. Its LRV of 9 places it in the low-reflectance category, absorbing most ambient light and creating a dense, weighty presence on any surface. The earthy, slightly browned red base gives it a more grounded character than a pure crimson.

Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Accessible Beige allow the red to stand forward through clean contrast, while Naval and Secret Garden provide complementary depth in blue and green. Reddish-brown analogous tones further reinforce its warm foundation.
