What color is Sherwin Williams Hot?
Sherwin Williams Hot SW 6843 is a deep rose-red with a muted berry cast, sitting between raspberry and softened crimson. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a dining room, powder room, or dramatic bedroom wall without reading as nearly black. In bright daylight, Hot can show more of its rosy pink side, while lower or warmer light brings out its richer red-wine depth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal, black accents, or warm natural wood to keep the color grounded. It is especially effective on an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door where its saturated color can take center stage.

LRV of Hot
Hot has an LRV of 13.69% 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 13.69%, 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.
