As March’s sun begins to peak over the horizon, February’s sun shines the last of its light on us as it descends. For most people, February was a month filled with the on-stretch of goals from January and for some, a refreshing break as we celebrate holidays and traditions. February brings the importance of Black History Month in addition to light holidays such as Groundhog day (February 2nd) where it was declared this year’s winter will extend until March 20. We may even have found ourselves celebrating those we cherish and love in our lives with Valentine’s Day on the 14th, or hopefully even enjoyed time off with the Federal holiday for President’s Day on the 17th.
Reflecting on February, we may cerebrate on activities we accomplished, habits we developed, or memories we created with our loved ones.
Which is why for February 2025 Sun Dried Tomato by Sherwin-Williams is well-suited for color of the month. This color is not only a Sherwin-Williams “expert pick”, it is moody without encompassing darkness, and passionate without being overwhelming. This medium-dark shade of red creates an inviting environment and is the perfect accent color when trying to encompass a warm and welcoming space. This warm but dark and moderately saturated red can encourage action and confidence. Adding this color to your dining rooms, entryways, or spaces for entertainment can add a liveliness and spark of conversation it may have been lacking before.
A creamy, deep white or muted, calming brown can pair well with Sun Dried Tomato as opposing wall or trim colors. Though this Sherwin-Williams shade of red looks beautiful as both a full-room color or simply an accent color.
Sun Dried Tomato has an LRV of 5. What is an LRV and what does it mean? An LRV is the “Light Reflectance Value” and it is a number (typically from 0-100) that expresses the amount of light the color either reflects or absorbs. Since this is a darker color, it has a low LRV of 5, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects back into the room. The natural lighting, aesthetic of the room, and artificial lighting can be factored in when deciding what color and shade to choose. This slightly moody color may be the change you’re looking for in your home’s space!
