What color is Sherwin Williams Exuberant Pink?
Sherwin Williams Exuberant Pink SW 6840 is a bold, mid-tone pink with noticeable violet and blue undertones, giving it a fuchsia-like edge rather than a soft rosy look. It reads especially punchy in clear daylight, while warm lamps can pull out a richer berry cast in the evening. This shade makes the most sense as an accent wall, powder room color, or lively choice for a vanity, built-in, or front door rather than a quiet whole-house neutral. Pair it with crisp warm white, pale oak, brass fixtures, charcoal, or deep green for contrast that keeps the pink from feeling overly sweet.

LRV of Exuberant Pink
Exuberant Pink has an LRV of 16.6% 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 16.6%, 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.
