What color is Sherwin Williams Forward Fuchsia?
Sherwin Williams Forward Fuchsia SW 6842 is a deep, berry-toned fuchsia with a noticeable red-violet cast. Its #92345b color value gives it substantial depth, so it reads richer and less neon than a bright pink. Use it as an accent wall in a dining room, powder room, or creative workspace where a concentrated dose of color feels intentional. Forward Fuchsia pairs well with soft warm whites, charcoal, black, and light natural woods, while brass hardware can bring out its warm red notes. In lower light, this shade is likely to appear darker and more wine-like, so ample daylight or layered lighting helps preserve its lively color.

LRV of Forward Fuchsia
Forward Fuchsia has an LRV of 9.3% 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 9.3%, 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.
