What color is Sherwin Williams Coral Bells?

Sherwin Williams Coral Bells SW 6593 is a medium-depth red with a softened rosy cast, reading more muted than a clear primary red. Its color value gives it noticeable saturation, but the finish still feels grounded rather than overly bright. In strong daylight, Coral Bells can show its lively red-pink character, while lower or warmer light makes it appear deeper and more subdued. Use it for a dining room wall, a painted front door, or an accent cabinet where a concentrated hit of color suits the space. Creamy whites, warm gray-beige neutrals, natural oak, and aged brass provide calm, material-rich companions.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 16.3%, 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.
