Sherwin Williams

Valentine

SW 6587

Valentine is a deep, saturated red with cool blue-pink undertones that distinguish it from warmer, orange-leaning reds. With an LRV of 12, it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a strong, concentrated hue. This makes it most practical as an accent wall color, on front doors, or on cabinetry rather than as a full-room application.

It is frequently used in dining rooms and entryways. Valentine can be balanced with Sherwin-Williams Snowbound or Incredible White for sharp contrast, and it sits well alongside Rosedust or Coral Reef, while Cyberspace offers a dark complementary pairing.
