About Rose Tan
Rose Tan (SW 0069) is a deep, medium-strength pink from Sherwin-Williams that leans peach. With an LRV of 38, Rose Tan absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Rose Tan's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. Next to Persimmon (SW 6339), it's cooler and more muted.
