Sherwin Williams

Fading Rose

SW 6296

Fading Rose is a soft, muted red from Sherwin-Williams that leans toward pink with warm blush undertones. At an LRV of 55, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it suitable for bedrooms, powder rooms, or living areas where a quiet warmth is needed without high contrast. It works well alongside Sherwin-Williams White Heron, Malted Milk, Agreeable Gray, Reticence, and Demure, creating a tonal range that stays cohesive.

The pink cast is subtle enough to read as a dusty neutral in lower light settings.
