What color is Sherwin Williams Husky Orange?
Sherwin Williams Husky Orange SW 6636 is a medium-depth orange with a grounded, clay-like warmth rather than a bright citrus edge. Its #bb613e color value reads as a softened red-orange, carrying enough brown influence to feel substantial on a wall or front door. In strong daylight, the orange becomes clearer and more energetic; under warm evening lighting, it can look deeper and closer to terracotta. Use Husky Orange for a dining room accent wall, painted cabinetry, or an exterior detail where a richer color can hold its own. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, charcoal, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.
LRV of Husky Orange
Husky Orange has an LRV of 19.49% 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 19.49%, 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.
