Sherwin Williams

Breathless

SW 6022

Breathless (#D6C2BE) is a muted, warm pink with beige and mauve undertones, placing it in the red family but well away from anything bright or saturated. With an LRV of 57, it offers moderate reflectance and reads as a soft, dusky neutral on larger surfaces. The warmth is restrained, lending itself to modern and transitional settings without feeling overly sweet.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Glamour and Malted Milk in an analogous arrangement. For balance, Sherwin-Williams Alabaster keeps it fresh, while Sea Salt or Clary Sage provide a cool green counterpoint.
