What color is Sherwin Williams Fervent Brass?
Sherwin Williams Fervent Brass SW 6405 is a muted golden-brown with an earthy, aged-metal character. Its #95793d color value reads warm and moderately deep, sitting between ochre, bronze, and softened mustard rather than bright yellow. In direct sun, it can show more of its gold tone, while lower or cooler light brings forward its brown, olive-leaning restraint. Fervent Brass has enough presence for a dining room wall, library, or powder room, and it also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm off-whites, deep charcoal, dark wood, blackened metal, and natural stone to keep its rich, grounded quality in focus.

LRV of Fervent Brass
Fervent Brass has an LRV of 20.34% 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 20.34%, 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.
