What color is Sherwin Williams Bosc Pear?
Sherwin Williams Bosc Pear SW 6390 is a warm, earthy golden tan with a noticeable ochre cast. Its mid-range depth keeps it from reading like a pale neutral, while the softened saturation prevents it from becoming overly bright. In direct sun, Bosc Pear can appear more golden; under lower or cooler light, it settles into a deeper brown-gold. It brings grounded color to dining rooms, kitchens, and entryways, especially on an accent wall or painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, aged brass, natural oak, and leather for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Bosc Pear
Bosc Pear has an LRV of 31.78% 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 31.78%, 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.
