Sherwin Williams Positive Red | Color of the Month
Happy New Year! To welcome 2025 we have chosen an uplifting and positive paint color to feature as our Color of the Month. That’s why we’re featuring Sherwin Williams Positive Red SW 6871! It’s a pink-red shade that has plenty of depth and adds a positive aspect to any space in the home.
Sherwin Williams Positive Red SW 6871 is a well balanced shade of red that showcases a pink undertone, making it relatively straight forward to incorporate into the home. The color also adds plenty of warmth to a space and can be paired with both warm and cool colors to create a unique color palette. This paint color can last for many years in the home when used effectively too!
Pairs Well With…
Sherwin Williams Ibis White (SW 7000) and Colonnade Gray (SW 7641) are great compliments to Sherwin Williams Positive Red.
We love how this warm red paint color pairs with neutral shades like Ibis White (SW 7000) and Colonnade Gray (SW 7641)! Pair this with other shades of beige, cream, and other warm neutrals to create a beautiful color palette.
If you’re looking to create a bolder color palette, then use shades of sage green to create a confident color scheme. These two colors work well together when used through accessories to create contrast with a feature wall.
These are both great paint colors to use alongside Positive Red throughout the home!
How to use this color in your home…
Sherwin Williams Positive Red is the perfect color for using as a feature wall color or as a bold all-over wall paint. This rich pink-red shade serves as a brilliant bold color to use in kid’s bedrooms or playrooms. Positive Red works well in both light and dark rooms – watch the color come alive in sunny south-facing rooms, while a more intimate and cozy feel can be achieved in naturally darker spaces.
We love to use Positive Red as a bold all-over wall paint color to create a cozy atmosphere. Aside from kids’ spaces you can use Postive Red in library areas, media rooms, and home offices are great areas for this!
