What color is Sherwin Williams Desire Pink?
Sherwin Williams Desire Pink SW 6852 is a light, clear pink with a soft rosy cast and a gentle coolness from its subtle blue undertone. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the color still has enough presence to read as pink rather than near-white. In daylight, Desire Pink looks fresh and petal-like; under warmer bulbs, it can appear slightly softer and creamier. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nursery walls, or a painted ceiling where a quiet wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, charcoal accents, or deeper berry-toned textiles for contrast.

LRV of Desire Pink
Desire Pink has an LRV of 62.76% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 62.76%, 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.
