Ruby Shade

SW 6572

Ruby Shade is a deep, warm red with pink undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 15, placing it in the low-reflectance range. At hex #A2566F, it reads as a berry-red with a slight magenta lean, producing noticeable depth on walls. This low LRV means it functions best as an accent wall color or in well-lit rooms such as dining rooms or powder rooms.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Black Bean for dark tonal layering, Iron Ore for neutral contrast, and Coral Reef and Malted Milk as lighter warm companions.
