Redend Point (SW 9081): A Warm, Earthy Neutral
Overview
Redend Point (SW 9081) is a softly grounded neutral with a warm blend of beige, blush, and muted clay. Its hexadecimal value is #AE8E7E, reflecting the color’s subdued, earthy character. Rather than reading as a traditional tan or obvious pink, Redend Point creates a refined balance between the two. The result is a welcoming color that feels natural, relaxed, and quietly sophisticated.
This shade works especially well in homes that favor organic materials, warm wood tones, woven textures, and an understated palette. It has enough depth to provide visual interest while remaining versatile enough for everyday living spaces. Redend Point is also a strong choice when you want warmth without the yellow cast found in some beige paints.
Undertones
Redend Point has warm rosy and clay-like undertones. Depending on the lighting and surrounding finishes, it may appear more beige, taupe, blush, or terracotta. In south-facing rooms with abundant warm sunlight, the color can look lighter and slightly more rosy. In north-facing rooms or spaces with cooler bulbs, it may appear more muted and taupe.
Because its undertones are nuanced, sample Redend Point on more than one wall before committing. View the samples in morning, afternoon, and evening light, and compare them with flooring, countertops, furniture, and trim. A professional color evaluation from STRIPES PAINTING CO. can help ensure the final result works with your home’s existing features.
Best Rooms
Redend Point is a natural fit for bedrooms, where its muted warmth can create a calm and restful atmosphere. It also performs beautifully in living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and home offices. In open-concept homes, this color can provide a soft, cohesive backdrop while allowing artwork, upholstery, and architectural details to stand out.
Use it in a bathroom for a spa-inspired look, particularly with natural stone, brushed brass, warm white tile, or wood accents. In smaller rooms, Redend Point can feel enveloping and comfortable rather than heavy, especially when balanced with light trim and thoughtful lighting.
Cabinets
Redend Point can give cabinetry a distinctive, furniture-like finish. Consider it for a kitchen island, bathroom vanity, laundry room cabinets, or built-ins when you want an alternative to white, gray, or dark green. Its earthy quality pairs well with natural wood, creamy quartz, honed stone, aged brass, and matte black hardware.
For a full cabinetry application, test the color beside your backsplash and countertop. The warm undertones can shift subtly against cool whites or blue-gray surfaces, so sampling is essential.
Exterior Use
On exteriors, Redend Point offers a welcoming, sophisticated alternative to conventional beige. It can work well on siding, stucco, or select architectural details, especially alongside warm stone, wood, or brick. Exterior sunlight typically makes paint appear lighter, so evaluate a large sample outdoors before making a final selection. Redend Point is particularly appealing for homes with natural, traditional, transitional, or modern-organic styling.
Trim Pairings
Pair Redend Point with a warm, soft white for trim to create gentle contrast without making the walls look pink. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Creamy, or Greek Villa may complement its warmth, depending on the finishes in your home. For a deeper, more tonal look, use a warm taupe or medium brown on trim, doors, or millwork.
Coordinating Colors
Redend Point coordinates beautifully with muted greens, warm whites, soft browns, clay tones, and natural wood. Consider Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog, Retreat, Urbane Bronze, or Accessible Beige for complementary applications. Blue-green accents can provide balanced contrast, while terracotta, leather, rattan, and linen reinforce its organic character.
