Sherwin Williams

Carley's Rose

SW 9002

Carley's Rose is a warm, muted red with pink and brown undertones, captured in hex #A87376. Its LRV of 22 gives it a moderate depth, absorbing enough light to feel substantial without reading as especially dark. The hue sits in the red family with a dusty quality, pulled slightly toward mauve by its brown and pink secondary tones.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Creamy serve as lighter neutral companions that let the color stand forward. Naval or Iron Ore provide strong dark contrast, while Rosy Outlook and Renwick Beige offer analogous transitions that extend the warm, muted range.
