What color is Sherwin Williams Knockout Orange?
Sherwin Williams Knockout Orange SW 6885 is a high-energy, clear orange with a strong warm red cast, closer to the peel of a ripe blood orange than to muted terracotta. It reads intensely bright in direct daylight and can look even more saturated under warm lamps, so it is usually best used where a jolt of color is welcome rather than across every wall. Try it on a front door, a breakfast nook accent wall, open shelving, or the back panel of built-in cabinetry. Warm white trim, natural oak, cognac leather, brass, and deep forest green give its brightness something grounded to play against. In a north-facing room, it may lean a little redder and denser, while abundant southern light brings out its lively citrus side.

LRV of Knockout Orange
Knockout Orange has an LRV of 27.66% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.66%, 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.
