Kirsch Red

SW 6313

Kirsch Red is a rich, warm red with brown undertones that registers an LRV of 12, making it a decidedly dark selection. The brown base tempers the red, pulling it toward a muted berry or wine tone rather than a pure primary red. This makes it functional in dining rooms, libraries, or accent applications where depth without stark brightness is needed.

It holds its complexity under both natural and incandescent light. Pair it with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White for crisp contrast, and coordinate with Cordovan, Sommelier, Rojo Marrón, and Hushed Auburn.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
