What color is Sherwin Williams Energetic Orange?
Sherwin Williams Energetic Orange SW 6880 is a vivid, mid-depth orange with a clear red cast that keeps it from reading yellow or pumpkin-like. Its high saturation makes it especially effective as an accent wall, front door, painted furniture piece, or a punchy cabinet color in a small dose. In bright daylight, this shade looks crisp and lively, while warmer evening light can bring forward its red-orange richness. Pair Energetic Orange with soft warm whites, charcoal, deep navy, or natural oak to give its intensity room to stand out. Matte black hardware, terracotta textiles, and woven materials can also ground this color in kitchens, entryways, creative workspaces, or covered exterior details.

LRV of Energetic Orange
Energetic Orange has an LRV of 21.67% 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 21.67%, 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.
