What color is Sherwin Williams Demure?

Sherwin Williams Demure SW 6295 is a pale, muted blush with a lightly warm pink cast and a soft, powdery appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, so it can feel closer to a pink-tinted neutral on broad walls. In bright daylight, Demure looks airy and delicate, while dimmer or cooler light can bring out its faint gray-beige restraint. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen fabrics, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with mushroom taupe, deep brown, or a muted charcoal accent.

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 68.92%, 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.
