What color is Sherwin Williams Avid Apricot?
Sherwin Williams Avid Apricot SW 6639 is a light, warm peach with a soft orange cast and a creamy, sunlit appearance. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the apricot tone adds more presence than a typical off-white. In north-facing rooms, it may read a little quieter and more beige-peach; direct afternoon light can bring out its clearer peach warmth. Avid Apricot suits bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and powder rooms where a gentle wash of color is wanted without a dark or heavily saturated finish. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta accents, or muted olive details for an earthy palette.

LRV of Avid Apricot
Avid Apricot has an LRV of 62.32% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 62.32%, 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.
