What color is Sherwin Williams Dragon Fruit?
Sherwin Williams Dragon Fruit SW 6855 is a high-energy pink with strong fuchsia and berry-purple undertones. It reads bright and clear rather than dusty, much like a bowl of crushed raspberries under direct light. In a sunlit room, the color can look almost electric, while warm evening bulbs pull out its richer magenta side. It is most convincing on a powder room wall, a painted vanity, the back of a bookcase, or one statement wall rather than throughout a large room. Pair it with crisp warm white, pale oak, brass hardware, charcoal, or deep green for contrast that keeps the pink from feeling sugary.

LRV of Dragon Fruit
Dragon Fruit has an LRV of 22.97% 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 22.97%, 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.
