Forward Fuchsia

SW 6842

Forward Fuchsia is a vibrant red-pink with a noticeable blue undertone that gives it a cool, jewel-toned quality. At an LRV of 9, it is quite deep and absorbs most ambient light, making it best suited for accent walls, powder rooms, or exterior doors. The blue shift distinguishes it from warmer pinks and pulls it toward berry territory.

It works alongside Tricorn Black for dramatic framing, Naval for tonal depth, Begonia as a lighter complement, Agreeable Gray to balance intensity, and Pure White for crisp trim.
