What color is Sherwin Williams Inventive Orange?

Sherwin Williams Inventive Orange SW 6633 is a warm, softened orange with a clear peach-apricot cast rather than a sharp, traffic-cone brightness. Its light-to-mid depth keeps the color open and friendly on walls, especially in kitchens, breakfast rooms, playrooms, or a sunny entry. In direct daylight, its peachy warmth becomes more noticeable, while lower light can make it read as a slightly earthier, muted orange. Pair it with creamy whites, pale sand tones, warm wood, terracotta tile, or brushed brass for a cohesive palette. Inventive Orange also makes a lively accent on a painted door, interior shelving, or a small piece of cabinetry.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 42.41%, 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.
