What color is Sherwin Williams Fussy Pink?
Sherwin Williams Fussy Pink SW 6853 is a light, rosy pink with a gently muted finish rather than a sharp bubblegum look. Its red-pink base carries a slight mauve cast, giving the color a balanced appearance that can feel warmer in afternoon sun and a touch quieter under cool artificial light. Fussy Pink suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, or a painted ceiling where a soft wash of color is wanted without making the space feel overly dark. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or brushed brass for a warm, layered look. For more contrast, use charcoal gray, deep plum, or dark green accents nearby.

LRV of Fussy Pink
Fussy Pink has an LRV of 46.57% 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 46.57%, 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.
