What color is Sherwin Williams Borscht?
Sherwin Williams Borscht SW 7578 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable wine-colored cast and a soft brown-gray restraint. Its low brightness gives it real presence on walls, especially in dining rooms, libraries, powder rooms, or a dramatic entry. In bright daylight, Borscht reads as a dusty dark red, while evening light can pull forward its richer, more shadowed burgundy character. Pair it with warm off-whites, putty neutrals, aged brass, walnut, or blackened metal to emphasize its grounded depth. It is especially effective on cabinetry, built-ins, or a single accent wall when a full room of dark color feels too heavy.

LRV of Borscht
Borscht has an LRV of 6.42% 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 6.42%, 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.
