Sherwin Williams

Reddish

SW 6319

Reddish is a warm, earthy red with an LRV of 21, giving it a medium-dark presence that absorbs more light than it reflects. Its brown undertones temper the red base, resulting in a tone that reads as dusty and clay-influenced rather than bright or saturated. This makes it a practical choice for dining rooms, living room accent walls, or studies.

It works alongside Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige as a lighter neutral balance, Creamy for warm trim, Urbane Bronze for a dark anchor, and Iron Ore or Coral Reef as contrasting or analogous color partners.

Reddish in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
