Sherwin Williams

Poinsettia

SW 6594

Poinsettia is a deep, saturated red from Sherwin-Williams with warm undertones that lean toward brick and crimson rather than blue-based reds. At an LRV of 10, it absorbs most ambient light, making it suited to accent walls, fireplace surrounds, or dining room features rather than full-room coverage. It appears richer under incandescent lighting and slightly more muted under cooler LED sources.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Accessible Beige as neutralizing companions, while Sea Salt offers cool contrast, and Neighborly Peach and Coral Reef sit nearby on the warm spectrum.
