Sherwin Williams

Demure

SW 6295

Demure (hex #E8D4D5) is a soft, muted red with a gentle pink undertone and a dusty quality that reduces its saturation considerably. At an LRV of 69, it reflects light well and reads as a pale blush-tinted neutral in most lighting conditions, with the red base becoming most apparent in warm artificial light. The overall effect is a quiet, low-chroma pink that avoids reading as overtly colorful.

Sherwin-Williams Innocence and White Dogwood complement it in analogous groupings, while Alabaster and Eider White work as trim neutrals, and Secret Garden offers a deeper complementary green accent.
