What color is Sherwin Williams Cayenne?
Sherwin Williams Cayenne SW 6881 is a saturated, earthy red-orange with a noticeable warm clay character. Its #c04d35 color value gives it enough depth to feel grounded on a feature wall, while the orange-red cast keeps it energetic rather than dark or wine-toned. In bright daylight, Cayenne can read clearer and more sunbaked; lower or warmer light brings out its richer terracotta side. Use it for a dining room wall, a painted front door, or kitchen cabinetry where a strong color is welcome. It pairs especially well with creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural wood, aged brass, black metal, and olive-toned accents.

LRV of Cayenne
Cayenne has an LRV of 16.82% 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 16.82%, 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.
