Sherwin Williams

Ravishing Coral

SW 6612

Ravishing Coral is a medium-light warm tone from Sherwin-Williams in the orange-pink range with noticeable red undertones giving it a salmon-like quality. With an LRV of 40, it sits in mid-range light reflectance, bright enough for a wall color without making a room feel dark. This shade can work in bedrooms, dining areas, or powder rooms where a warm wall color is appropriate.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams White Duck and Creamy for lighter trim pairings, while Naval provides a strong cool contrast, and Temperate Taupe or Debonair offer softer options.
