Sherwin Williams

Rose Colored

SW 6303

Rose Colored is a soft, warm pink-red with a Light Reflectance Value of 52, giving it a moderate brightness that keeps rooms feeling open. Its hex value #DCB6B5 reveals a muted, blush-like quality with warm undertones that lean slightly toward dusty rose rather than true red. This shade is appropriate for bedrooms, dining rooms, or accent walls in living spaces working within traditional or contemporary schemes.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Creamy and Alabaster as lighter companions, while Naval and Urbane Bronze provide deeper grounding, and Debonair offers a cool blue contrast.
