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.

Redend Point is in the beige color family.

30
Light Reflective Value is the measurement of how much light a color bounces around. This is on a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 being pure black and 100 being pure white.
With an LRV of 30, Redend Point is actually on the darker side of things. It’s got a lot of depth to it. Remember that the color will feel darker in darker spaces and lighter in brighter rooms.

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.
It’s very important to swatch colors on your wall to make sure they look good – day and night – in your actual space before committing.

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.
