Cyclamen

SW 6571

Cyclamen is a mid-depth red with distinct pink undertones that pull it away from a standard crimson toward a softer, rose-influenced hue. Its LRV of 28 provides moderate depth, giving it enough presence for accent applications without rendering a space overly dark. The pink cast keeps it from reading as heavy, maintaining a lighter visual weight than a true red of similar depth.

SW Eider White and SW Agreeable Gray offer neutral counterpoints that let the color stand forward. SW Rookwood Dark Green provides a complementary contrast, and analogous options like SW Rose and deeper reds create tonal continuity.
