What color is Sherwin Williams Carley's Rose?

Sherwin Williams Carley's Rose SW 9002 is a muted mid-tone rose with a dusty, slightly earthy cast rather than a bright pink finish. Its red-leaning color value gives it gentle warmth, while the softened saturation keeps it grounded on larger walls. In warm daylight, Carley's Rose can read a little more sun-baked and clay-like; cooler light brings out its quieter rosy depth. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and painted built-ins, especially alongside creamy whites, soft taupes, natural oak, linen, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal or a restrained olive green.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 21.94%, 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.
