Sherwin Williams

Cheerful

SW 6903

Cheery (#EB92A3) is a warm, medium-depth pink with clear red-pink undertones. At an LRV of 41, it holds moderate brightness and provides visible color presence without overwhelming a space. The hue leans toward a soft coral-pink territory, making it suitable for accent walls or smaller rooms where controlled warmth is desired.

Sherwin-Williams Naval offers a strong cool contrast that balances the warmth, while Contented introduces a muted green complement. For tonal harmony, Rosebud and Coral Reef sit in the same warm family, and pairing with a neutral like Alabaster grounds the palette.
