What color is Sherwin Williams Kirsch Red?

Sherwin Williams Kirsch Red SW 6313 is a medium-deep, muted red with a noticeable rosy berry cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading like a primary red, while the slight blue influence gives the color a cooler edge than brick or rust tones. In bright daylight, Kirsch Red can show more of its pink-red character; under warm lamps, it settles into a fuller, deeper wine-red impression. It has enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or dramatic bedroom wall, and it also makes a strong choice for a painted door or built-in cabinetry. Pair this shade with warm white trim, pale blush-beige textiles, dark walnut, or aged brass for contrast that feels considered rather than overly formal.

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 11.96%, 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.
