What color is Sherwin Williams Habanero Chile?
Sherwin Williams Habanero Chile SW 7589 is a deep, earthy red with a clear terracotta cast and a muted, clay-like finish. Its medium-dark depth keeps the color grounded rather than overly bright, making it especially effective on a dining room wall, powder room, or built-in cabinetry. In direct daylight, Habanero Chile reads as a warm brick red, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its deeper, slightly browned side. Pair it with soft cream, sand, or warm white trim to sharpen the contrast, or use natural oak, walnut, aged brass, and black metal for a more substantial look.
LRV of Habanero Chile
Habanero Chile has an LRV of 15.05% 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 15.05%, 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.
