Demure
Sherwin-Williams's Demure is a red shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its midtone saturation balances color with restraint, so the hue can register without overwhelming nearby finishes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
