What color is Sherwin Williams Fireweed?
Sherwin Williams Fireweed SW 6328 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps its color grounded rather than bright. Its warmth reads especially clearly in daylight, while lower or warmer evening light can make it appear darker and more burnished. Fireweed has enough depth for a dining room, study, or powder room wall, where it can create a strong backdrop without feeling overly vivid. It also suits painted cabinetry or a front door paired with creamy off-whites, charcoal, aged brass, warm wood, and natural leather. Use this shade where a concentrated, clay-red accent will have room to stand out.

LRV of Fireweed
Fireweed has an LRV of 7.17% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.17%, 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.
