What color is Sherwin Williams Beetroot?
Sherwin Williams Beetroot SW 9695 is a deep, muted red with a subtle berry cast and a grounded, earthy weight. Its low brightness gives it a substantial presence, reading closer to a dark garnet-red than a bright crimson. In strong daylight, Beetroot can show a little more red clarity, while evening light tends to deepen its brownish-wine character. Use it on a dining room wall, library cabinetry, or a front door when you want a concentrated hit of color rather than an all-over pale backdrop. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, charcoal, aged brass, dark wood, or pale natural stone to give its richness room to stand out.
LRV of Beetroot
Beetroot has an LRV of 7.46% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.46%, 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.
