What color is Sherwin Williams Coral Bead?
Sherwin Williams Coral Bead SW 6873 is a light, warm coral-pink with a clear peachy cast. Its #ef9a93 color value gives it enough saturation to read as cheerful and noticeable without becoming overly intense on a full wall. In bright daylight, Coral Bead can appear fresher and more pink-coral, while warmer evening lighting tends to emphasize its soft peach warmth. It suits powder rooms, children’s rooms, breakfast nooks, and painted furniture, or it can be used as an accent against creamy whites and pale sand tones. Pair it with natural oak, rattan, brushed brass, or muted teal accents for contrast.

LRV of Coral Bead
Coral Bead has an LRV of 43.54% 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 43.54%, 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.
