Redend Point
Sherwin-Williams
SW 9081
Redend Point, the 2023 Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year, is a soft clay tone blending blush, terracotta, and beige. It is earthier and more grounded than a pink, which lets it work on bedroom walls, powder rooms, and even cabinetry in warm, desert-leaning palettes. It pairs naturally with cream, rust, olive, and travertine.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Redend Point?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Redend Point is Gaucho Brown 2096-40 (#A98573). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Redend Point warm or cool?
Redend Point is warm, unambiguously so, with rosy terracotta and brown undertones leading. Warm light deepens it toward clay; cooler light mutes it toward a dusty blush-taupe. With an LRV of approximately 30, it is a confident mid-tone rather than a whisper of pink. Keep it in warm company: creams, browns, and greens flatter it, while cool grays make it read more pink than intended.
Why does Redend Point look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #AE8E7E as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Redend Point have?
Redend Point has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 30, meaning it reflects about 30% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
