What color is Sherwin Williams Inner Child?
Sherwin Williams Inner Child SW 6877 is a light, warm pink with a noticeable peachy cast. Its soft value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the color still has enough pigment to read clearly rather than fading into an off-white. In bright daylight, Inner Child can look like a fresh blush pink; under warmer lamps, its apricot undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and nurseries, as well as an accent on built-ins or the back of open shelving. Pair it with creamy whites, pale terracotta, natural oak, woven cane, or muted olive accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Inner Child
Inner Child has an LRV of 58.16% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 58.16%, 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.
