What color is Sherwin Williams Gypsy Red?
Sherwin Williams Gypsy Red SW 6865 is a saturated, medium-deep red with a subtle crimson cast rather than an orange-leaning brick tone. Its strong color presence makes it especially effective on a dining room accent wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry where a clear red statement is wanted. In bright daylight, Gypsy Red reads vivid and energetic; lower light gives it a deeper, more grounded appearance. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, blackened metal, or natural walnut to give the color definition. For a softer contrast, pale blush-beige or muted dusty blue can temper its intensity without competing with it.

LRV of Gypsy Red
Gypsy Red has an LRV of 12.94% 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 12.94%, 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.
