What color is Sherwin Williams Gladiola?
Sherwin Williams Gladiola SW 6875 is a saturated warm red with a clear coral-orange cast, drawn from its vivid #d54f43 color value. It reads energetic and full-bodied rather than dark, making it especially effective as a front door, dining-room accent wall, or painted furniture finish. In bright daylight, Gladiola shows its lively red-orange character, while lower or warmer light can make it appear deeper and more earthy. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, woven fibers, or matte black hardware to give the color room to stand out. On large walls, use it where a strong, intentional hit of color suits the architecture and available light.

LRV of Gladiola
Gladiola has an LRV of 20.29% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.29%, 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.
