Sherwin Williams

Delightful

SW 6289

Delightful (hex #D2B6BE) is a soft, muted red with clear pink undertones that keep it from reading as a true rose or mauve. Its LRV of 51 places it at the midpoint of light reflectance, giving it enough brightness to avoid heaviness while retaining discernible color depth. The dusty pink-red quality carries a slight cool edge from its gray muting.

It layers naturally with Sherwin-Williams White Heron and Glimmer for tonal softness, while Hopeful and Rosebud extend the analogous pink range, and a deeper shade like Naval provides sharp value contrast.
