What color is Sherwin Williams Autumnal?
Sherwin Williams Autumnal SW 6361 is a medium, sunbaked orange-brown with clear terracotta character and a muted clay undertone. Its warmth is noticeable without reading overly bright, giving walls a grounded dose of color in dining rooms, kitchens, or entryways. In strong daylight, Autumnal can show more of its earthy orange side, while evening light tends to draw out its brown, baked-ochre depth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, olive green, or deep charcoal for contrast. Natural oak, aged brass, leather, and hand-thrown ceramics all suit this shade particularly well.

LRV of Autumnal
Autumnal has an LRV of 32.71% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 32.71%, 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.
