Sherwin Williams

River Rouge

SW 6026

River Rouge is a deep, muted red from Sherwin-Williams with brown undertones that push it toward the burgundy-mauve range. Its Light Reflectance Value of 12 means it absorbs most light, appearing dark on walls, especially in rooms with limited natural light. The brown undertone tempers the red base, producing a more subdued result than a primary red.

It is commonly applied in dining rooms, studies, and traditionally styled interiors. River Rouge pairs with Sherwin-Williams Warm Stone and Balanced Beige for neutral transitions, Snowbound for cool contrast, and Rookwood Red for a deeper tonal extension.
