Sherwin Williams

Irresistible

SW 6562

Irresistible is a warm muted red from Sherwin-Williams softened by pink undertones into a dusty mauve-pink range. With an LRV of 59, it sits in the medium-light category, reflecting enough light for use on full walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or sitting areas without overwhelming the space. The red base is substantially grayed, keeping the tone restrained rather than bold.

It coordinates naturally with Doeskin SW 6044, Moderne White SW 6168, Angora SW 6036, Rosewood SW 0039, and Glamour SW 6031.
