Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Red SW 2801 is a deep, brown-leaning red with a muted, earthy cast. Its #4b2929 value gives it substantial depth, so it reads more like a shaded oxblood or red-brown than a bright traditional red. In strong natural light, the red comes forward a little more, while low light can make this shade appear nearly brown. Use it on a dining room wall, library cabinetry, front door, or paneled accent wall where its dark character can be appreciated. Rookwood Dark Red pairs well with warm cream, aged brass, dark walnut, black accents, and natural stone or terracotta materials.
