What color is Sherwin Williams Laughing Orange?
Sherwin Williams Laughing Orange SW 6895 is a vivid, high-saturation orange with a clear golden-yellow cast. Its bright, sunny character reads energetic rather than earthy, making it best suited to spaces that can handle a strong hit of color. On a feature wall, front door, or painted furniture piece, Laughing Orange creates immediate contrast against crisp white, charcoal, deep navy, or warm natural wood. Bright daylight emphasizes its yellow-orange brightness, while lower, warmer lighting can make it appear slightly richer and more amber. Use this shade as an accent in kitchens, playrooms, creative studios, or exterior details rather than across every wall in a small room.

LRV of Laughing Orange
Laughing Orange has an LRV of 41.64% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 41.64%, 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.
