What color is Sherwin Williams Carnival?
Sherwin Williams Carnival SW 6892 is a vivid raspberry pink with a noticeable blue undertone, closer to a ripe berry than a soft blush. It has enough intensity to read almost red in warm evening light, while north-facing daylight can pull out its cooler, slightly fuchsia side. Carnival is usually strongest on an accent wall, a painted interior door, or cabinetry in a powder room rather than across every wall of a large room. Try it with warm white trim, pale oak, brass hardware, and crisp linen for contrast, or set it against deep green or navy for a bolder look.

LRV of Carnival
Carnival has an LRV of 35.58% 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 35.58%, 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.
