Color of The Month
Carnelian
SW 7580
Tell a rich story in your home with Carnelian’s vintage modern hue.
A well-storied home tells tales old and new, but it’s never tied to one period in time. Some of the best spaces feature a personally imperfect collection of found or handed down decor that fills your home with the unique character of heritage style.
Style Influences
Carnelian’s nostalgic hue is the perfect backdrop for heritage style to shine. Its rich color can instantly feel modernized when paired with bright metals making it easier than ever to blend the past with the present. You can also pair it with clean neutrals, thanks to a muted tone that plays well with soft hues.

I really enjoy these emails with great ideas!
Is it possible to find out where the bar stools are from?
Hi Samantha, we looked into this, but unfortunately were unable to confirm where they are from. Sorry for any inconvenience!
If you save a URL in Pinterest, then click the little magnifying glass in the bottom left, you can then narrow down the image to show what you are looking for. In this case the bar stools can be found here: https://www.cb2.com/cesta-30-rattan-bar-stool/s482126?epik=dj0yJnU9OTRCN3JjLU5zV1cwWGZaTjdMNHlRdkFLNi1aZDhfZ2kmcD0wJm49bXFxRGdyelhBdjJIa2FnaUNtVGx5USZ0PUFBQUFBR0J3Y3RJ

Any sales going on
Hi Esther! For current pricing info please visit Sherwin-Williams.com.
My home exterior is sided in a combination of vinyl siding (khaki beige) and hardiplank. What type of paint will be best? Should I use brush or spray?
Hi Jacquelyn, consider using our Emerald Rain Refresh for your homes exterior. A combination of brush and spraying would be a good choice!
What finish is reflected in these photos? Gloss, semi-gloss, etc.?
Hi Ashley! If you want to achieve a finish such as the one on the cabinets, try a matte/flat finish. Satin and Semi-gloss however will be easier to wipe/clean.
What shade is carnelian? The photos highlight the pink. Is carnelian black or dark brown/red? Photo puts the cabinet in a shadow. Nothing profiles it. Very poor graphics communication.
Hello Tim, Carnelian SW 7580 is a very dark red with a saturated brown undertone. You can order a free sample chip of this color from our website. We strongly urge everyone to look at the physical chip as colors will vary between video monitors and phone screens.
Where can I get those kitchen stools?
Thank you,
Susan C.
Hi Susan! We apologize for any inconvenience, but we do not have that information to provide.
I really enjoy the colors. Please show more accent colors that match the main color.
Example would be I have a medium green, what would be an accent color or color to blend into a blue krypton?
Thanks for your feedback, Norm! Are you looking for a recommendation or just providing an example? We’d be glad to help!

What is the finish / sheen of the color shown in the photos? Matte, semi-gloss, etc.?
Hi there! If you want to achieve a finish such as the one on the cabinets, try a matte/flat finish. Satin and Semi-gloss however will be easier to wipe/clean.
