Sherwin Williams

Dragon Fruit

SW 6855

Dragon Fruit (SW 6855) is a bold, saturated pink-red with strong magenta undertones that distinguish it from traditional reds. Its LRV of 23 means it absorbs a considerable amount of light, making it most practical as an accent wall, in a powder room, or on a front door rather than for full-room application. The color holds its vibrancy under both natural and artificial light.

It pairs effectively with Accessible Beige (SW 7036) and Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) to temper its intensity, while Alabaster (SW 7008) works as trim. Rosewood (SW 0039) andResse's Rose (SW 6291) extend the palette tonally.
