Sherwin Williams

Stop

SW 6869

Sherwin-Williams Stop is a saturated warm red with slight orange undertones at hex #C33A36. Its LRV of 15 indicates it absorbs most light, making it a high-impact color on walls. This shade is typically applied to accent walls, front doors, or dining room features where a strong warm focal point is intended.

The orange lean keeps it from reading as a cool or berry red. It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Pure White for trim contrast, Agreeable Gray as a neutral companion, Naval for a deep blue complement, Coral Reef for an analogous grouping, and Hunt Club as a dark green accent.
