What color is Sherwin Williams Mandarin?
Sherwin Williams Mandarin SW 6891 is a bright, high-energy orange with a distinctly warm, golden cast. Its saturated mid-tone depth keeps it from reading pastel, giving it enough presence for a front door, kitchen island, painted furniture, or a single accent wall. In bright daylight, Mandarin appears crisp and clear, while warmer evening light draws out its deeper amber-orange side. Pair it with clean white trim for contrast, charcoal or deep navy for a sharper scheme, or natural oak, rattan, and brass for a warmer material mix. On large walls, this color is best reserved for rooms that can handle a bold visual statement, such as a playroom, breakfast nook, or creative workspace.

LRV of Mandarin
Mandarin has an LRV of 37.75% 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 37.75%, 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.
