What color is Sherwin Williams Enticing Red?
Sherwin Williams Enticing Red SW 6600 is a mid-depth red with a softened, slightly muted finish rather than a sharp primary-red intensity. Its balanced red base carries a faint cool-neutral cast, helping it read as grounded on walls and trim. In bright daylight, Enticing Red looks clearer and more energetic; at night or in lower light, it settles into a deeper, earthier red. Use it for a dining room, powder room, painted front door, or a single accent wall where a fuller color is welcome. It pairs well with warm white paint, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal upholstery, and creamy stone surfaces.

LRV of Enticing Red
Enticing Red has an LRV of 16.18% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.18%, 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.
