What color is Sherwin Williams Bravado Red?
Sherwin Williams Bravado Red SW 6320 is a bold, full-bodied red with warm orange undertones that keep it from reading like a wine or berry shade. It has the punch of a classic lacquered red, especially in bright daylight, while warm evening lamps bring out its richer, slightly earthy side. Use it on a dining room wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry where the color can be a deliberate focal point rather than a backdrop. Warm white trim, honey-toned oak, walnut, aged brass, and dark green accents give it a grounded, traditional feel. In a north-facing room, it may look deeper and more dramatic, so ample lighting is helpful if it is used across all four walls.

LRV of Bravado Red
Bravado Red has an LRV of 14% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14%, 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.
