Red Bay

SW 6321

Red Bay is a deep, saturated red with an LRV of 9, making it one of the darker options in the red family. It has warm undertones with slight brown notes that prevent it from reading as a primary red, giving it a more grounded appearance. At this low reflectance, it absorbs significant light and suits accent walls, dining rooms, or powder rooms.

It works well alongside Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for trim contrast, Shoji White for a warmer pairing, Charcoal Blue for complementary depth, and Cavern Clay or Golden Fleece for analogous warmth.
