Sherwin Williams

Hushed Auburn

SW 9080

Hushed Auburn is a muted red with brown and rose undertones, registering an LRV of 26. This mid-depth color sits firmly in the warm neutral range, functioning more as a sophisticated blush-brown than a true red. It performs well on accent walls, in dining rooms, or within studies where a grounded warmth is appropriate.

Compatible Sherwin-Williams colors include Doeskin, Pinky Beige, Turkish Coffee, Accessible Beige, and Carnelian, which together allow for layered warm palettes without overwhelming contrast.
