Sherwin Williams

Concerto

SW 6298

Concerto from Sherwin-Williams is a muted red with violet undertones, represented at hex #9E6B75. Its LRV of 19 indicates low light reflectance, placing it on the darker end of the mid-tone spectrum where it reads as subdued rather than bright. The violet shift moves it away from a pure red toward a dusty, mauve-inflected register.

It pairs cohesively with analogous tones like Sherwin-Williams Enigma and Mythical, maintaining a controlled color range. For contrast, Pure White or Wool Skein provides lighter relief, while deeper earth tones such as Rockwood Red or Sealskin reinforce its muted warmth.
