What color is Sherwin Williams Fame Orange?
Sherwin Williams Fame Orange SW 6346 is a softened orange with a clay-peach cast, landing closer to sun-baked terracotta than a bright citrus hue. Its muted saturation keeps the warmth noticeable without making a wall feel overly loud. In direct afternoon light, Fame Orange can read clearer and peachier, while lower or north-facing light brings out its dustier tan-orange side. It suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and entry accents, as well as painted furniture or a front door where a grounded warm color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass for a collected, earthy finish.

LRV of Fame Orange
Fame Orange has an LRV of 40.32% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 40.32%, 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.
