What color is Sherwin Williams Lusty Red?
Sherwin Williams Lusty Red SW 6863 is a medium-deep red with a muted, slightly cool cast rather than an orange-leaning brightness. Its strong saturation gives it presence on a front door, dining room wall, or built-in cabinet, while the softened value keeps it from reading as sharply vivid. In daylight, Lusty Red shows a clear, grounded red character; in lower light, it appears deeper and more shadowed. Pair this color with warm off-whites, charcoal gray, natural oak, or aged brass for contrast that does not compete with the red. Use it as an accent when the room needs a concentrated hit of color, or commit to it on cabinetry in a space with ample light.
LRV of Lusty Red
Lusty Red has an LRV of 12.57% 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 12.57%, 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.
