What color is Sherwin Williams Anjou Pear?
Sherwin Williams Anjou Pear SW 6381 is a warm, golden tan with a clear amber-yellow cast and a softly muted finish. Its mid-tone depth gives it enough color for a dining room, kitchen, or sunny entry without reading as overly bright. In strong daylight, Anjou Pear can show more of its honeyed gold character, while lower light brings out its earthier beige-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood cabinetry, aged brass, and terracotta or rust accents for a grounded palette. It is especially effective on walls or built-in cabinetry where its warm color can be appreciated across a larger surface.

LRV of Anjou Pear
Anjou Pear has an LRV of 45.83% 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 45.83%, 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.
