Redend is a medium toned beige color with heavy pink or blush undertones. It is a warm and cozy color with a punch of pink, but a lot of beige and cocoa brown to mute the pink.

Undertones

Redend Point has very strong pink undertones. This color really reads as a mauve or darker blush in most spaces.

However, it is a very muted shade, with lots of beige to it as well.

Within that beige there is a lot of brown and almost a cocoa color. This is what helps to keep it from reading PINK pink and just a blush neutral.

Best uses

Sherwin Williams wants Redend Point to help redefine neutrals and show that they can still have color and interest.

I think that this is right along with color trends - people are getting bolder with paint colors and what was once considered wild is now a bit tame.

I love this color for a bedroom, dining room, or formal living room. It's great for any space that you want to elevate and let feel a bit special.
