What color is Sherwin Williams Blushing?
Sherwin Williams Blushing SW 6617 is a light peach-pink with a soft, warm cast and a noticeably creamy appearance. Its #f0d1c3 color value keeps it pale and gentle rather than bright or candy-like, making it well suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, nurseries, dressing rooms, or powder rooms. In warm daylight, the peach notes are likely to feel more apparent, while cooler lighting can bring out its muted pink side. Pair Blushing with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed brass for a cohesive finish. It can also add a subtle wash of color to a ceiling, built-in shelves, or a single accent wall.

LRV of Blushing
Blushing has an LRV of 67.81% 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 67.81%, 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.
