What color is Sherwin Williams Hearty Orange?
Sherwin Williams Hearty Orange SW 6622 is a deep, earthy orange with a noticeable red cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright or citrusy. Its mid-to-dark depth gives it enough weight for a dining room, entry, or powder room, especially where a stronger wall color is welcome. In direct daylight, the orange-red character reads clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its muted, clay-like richness. Hearty Orange makes a strong accent on a front door, built-in shelving, or lower cabinetry paired with warm white walls and natural oak. Matte black hardware, aged brass, terracotta tile, and cream linen are especially compatible materials and finishes.

LRV of Hearty Orange
Hearty Orange has an LRV of 14.99% 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 14.99%, 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.
