Rookwood Dark Red review: Sherwin-Williams SW 2801
Rookwood Dark Red in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Rookwood Dark Red's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Rookwood Dark Red looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Rookwood Dark Red's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light West light runs warm and intense in the late afternoon and evening, which is when Rookwood Dark Red's undertone is most likely to show.
deep warm red with a red-violet undertone, near-black in low light, part of the historic Rookwood collection.
