What color is Sherwin Williams Copper Mountain?
Sherwin Williams Copper Mountain SW 6356 is a grounded terracotta-brown with a clear warm, clay-like cast. Its #a6613c color value gives it medium depth and noticeable saturation, reading more earthy than bright orange. In strong daylight, Copper Mountain can show its sunbaked rust character, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its brown base. It makes a compelling choice for a dining room accent wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where a richer color can carry the space. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, and woven textures to support its earthy warmth.

LRV of Copper Mountain
Copper Mountain has an LRV of 17.03% 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 17.03%, 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.
