What color is Sherwin Williams Eros Pink?
Sherwin Williams Eros Pink SW 6860 is a saturated mid-tone pink with a clear red base and a lightly berry-rose cast. It reads bold rather than pale, bringing noticeable color to a room without becoming as deep as burgundy or wine. In bright daylight, Eros Pink can appear cleaner and more energetic, while lower or warmer lighting tends to emphasize its richer red-pink side. It makes a strong choice for a powder room, a painted interior door, or an accent wall behind a bed or dining banquette. Pair it with soft white trim, charcoal, warm oak, brass, or deep green accents to give the color definition.

LRV of Eros Pink
Eros Pink has an LRV of 18.87% 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 18.87%, 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.
