What color is Sherwin Williams Charisma?
Sherwin Williams Charisma SW 6605 is a clear, mid-tone coral pink with a noticeable warm peach influence. Its lively saturation gives it enough presence for an accent wall, a powder room, or painted furniture without reading as overly dark. In bright daylight, Charisma can look fresh and sunny, while softer evening light brings out its rosier side. Pair it with creamy whites, pale sand tones, warm wood, rattan, or brushed brass to support its warmth. For more contrast, deep teal, muted green, or charcoal accents give this shade a sharper, more graphic edge.

LRV of Charisma
Charisma has an LRV of 41.16% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 41.16%, 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.
