Sherwin Williams

Redbud

SW 6312

Redbud is a warm, mid-to-dark red with an LRV of 18, reflecting a limited amount of light. It carries pink and brown undertones that moderate its redness, producing a dusty, muted tone rather than a clean primary red. This quality allows it to work on accent walls, in dining rooms, or in studies where a warm, concentrated color is appropriate.

It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for clean trim contrast, Natural Linen for a softer off-white, Urbane Bronze for a dark grounding tone, and Naval or Coral Clay as complementary or analogous companions.
