Sherwin Williams

Carnelian

SW 7580

Dark, muted burgundy defines Carnelian SW 7580, with brown-red depth that stops short of vivid jewel color. Use it on a contained wall or built-in where concentrated color is the point. Cream and tobacco brown form a close, low-key palette around it.

Carnelian in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
