What color is Sherwin Williams Cordial?

Sherwin Williams Cordial SW 6306 is a muted, mid-depth red with a dusky rose cast and a subtle brownish grounding. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright or cherry-like, giving walls a measured, earthy presence. In warm daylight, Cordial can lean toward a faded brick-rose; lower or cooler light brings out its deeper berry-red side. It makes a strong choice for dining rooms, powder rooms, or an accent wall behind a bed, and can also give painted cabinetry a distinct, tailored look. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, dark wood, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

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 10.82%, 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.
