What color is Sherwin Williams Berry Bush?

Sherwin Williams Berry Bush SW 6292 is a muted berry-toned mauve with a noticeable rosy-red base and soft violet cast. Its mid-depth value gives it enough presence for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom without reading as overly dark. In bright natural light, Berry Bush can appear more rose and dusty; lower or warmer lighting brings forward its plum-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, or natural oak to ground the color’s red-violet character. It is especially effective on an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a small room where a fuller, more enveloping color is welcome.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration
