What color is Sherwin Williams Appleblossom?
Sherwin Williams Appleblossom SW 0076 is a light, muted blush pink with a softly warm rosy cast. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, making it a gentle option for bedroom walls, a powder room, or a softly colored ceiling. In warm daylight, Appleblossom can look a little peachier, while cooler light may bring out its faint dusty quality. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a warm, layered interior. For more contrast, this shade also sits nicely beside charcoal accents or deep green foliage.

LRV of Appleblossom
Appleblossom has an LRV of 51.33% 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 51.33%, 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.
