What color is Sherwin Williams Coral Reef?
Sherwin Williams Coral Reef SW 6606 is a warm, mid-tone coral with a softened red-orange base and a noticeable rosy cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading neon, giving walls a clear wash of color without overwhelming a room. In bright daylight, Coral Reef appears fresher and more coral-forward, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its deeper salmon-pink side. Try it on a dining room wall, a powder room, or painted furniture where its warmth can be a focal point. Creamy whites, pale peachy neutrals, natural oak, woven fibers, and dark bronze hardware give this shade a grounded, considered setting.
LRV of Coral Reef
Coral Reef has an LRV of 28.84% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 28.84%, 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.
