What color is Sherwin Williams Jalapeño?
Sherwin Williams Jalapeño SW 6629 is a warm, earthy red with a clear terracotta cast, shown here as #b1533c. Its medium depth and softened saturation keep it from reading like a bright primary red, giving it a clay-like, sunbaked appearance instead. In direct daylight, Jalapeño can show more of its orange-red warmth, while lower light brings out its deeper brick undertone. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or an accent wall where a grounded burst of color is welcome. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, warm wood, matte black metal, natural leather, or dusty green accents for contrast.
LRV of Jalapeño
Jalapeño has an LRV of 15.91% 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 15.91%, 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.
