Sherwin Williams

Charisma

SW 6605

Charisma (hex #EE9489) is a warm red with noticeable peachy undertones that soften its overall impact. At an LRV of 41, it sits in the mid-tone range, reflecting enough light to maintain a moderate presence without overwhelming a space. Its warmth and moderate saturation suit living rooms and dining areas where a direct, warm tone is appropriate.

Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Eider White create clean contrast that highlights its warm base. Coral Reef and Persimmon extend the palette in an analogous direction, while deeper anchors such as Tricorn Black or Iron Ore provide grounding contrast.
