What color is Sherwin Williams Feverish Pink?
Sherwin Williams Feverish Pink SW 6859 is a saturated red-pink with a noticeable crimson cast rather than a pale or powdery pink character. Its medium-dark depth gives it enough weight for a dramatic dining room, powder room, or painted accent wall. In bright daylight, Feverish Pink reads clearer and more energetic; lower light brings out its deeper red side. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, deep navy, or natural wood to give the color definition, and use brushed brass or black metal for contrast. It can also make a bold statement on cabinetry or a front door when the surrounding finishes are kept relatively simple.

LRV of Feverish Pink
Feverish Pink has an LRV of 16.72% 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 16.72%, 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.
