What color is Sherwin Williams Begonia?
Sherwin Williams Begonia SW 6599 is a medium-depth rosy red with a clear warm, coral-leaning cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading like a primary red, giving the color a lively but grounded presence on the wall. In bright daylight, Begonia can look fresher and more pink-coral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer red tone. It makes a strong accent for a dining room, powder room, painted door, or built-in shelving, and can also hold its own on all four walls in a small space. Pair it with warm white trim, pale blush tones, natural oak, terracotta, or aged brass for a cohesive finish.

LRV of Begonia
Begonia has an LRV of 26.24% 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 26.24%, 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.
