What color is Sherwin Williams Emotional?

Sherwin Williams Emotional SW 6621 is a warm, earthy red-orange with a softened terracotta cast. Its #c65f47 color value gives it noticeable saturation, but it reads more grounded than a bright coral or fire-engine red. In daylight, Emotional can show its clay-like orange warmth, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its deeper brick-red side. It makes a strong choice for an accent wall, a front door, or painted dining-room cabinetry where the color can be treated as a focal point. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, woven fibers, aged brass, or deep olive accents for a layered, material-rich look.

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 20.62%, 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.
