What color is Sherwin Williams Gala Pink?
Sherwin Williams Gala Pink SW 6579 is a mid-depth berry pink with a clear red base and a subtle cool cast that keeps it from reading coral. Its #b04b63 color value gives it noticeable saturation, so it has more presence than a pale blush while still feeling softer than a true crimson. In daylight, Gala Pink can appear like a lively raspberry rose; under lower or warmer light, it takes on a deeper, redder character. It makes a strong feature wall in a powder room, bedroom, or dining area, and can also bring character to a painted vanity or built-in. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal, deep burgundy, pale oak, brass, or blackened metal for contrast.

LRV of Gala Pink
Gala Pink has an LRV of 15.22% 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 15.22%, 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.
