What color is Sherwin Williams Amaryllis?
Sherwin Williams Amaryllis SW 6591 is a clear midtone pink with a rosy cast and a slight coolness that keeps it from reading overly peach or coral. Its noticeable saturation gives it more presence than a pale blush, making it especially effective on a powder room wall, bedroom accent wall, or painted interior door. In bright daylight, Amaryllis appears fresh and petal-like; under warmer bulbs, its red-pink depth becomes more pronounced. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray, charcoal, or natural oak to give the color a grounded contrast. Brass hardware, white tile, and linen-textured fabrics can help this shade feel tailored rather than overly sweet.

LRV of Amaryllis
Amaryllis has an LRV of 41.32% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 41.32%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
