What color is Sherwin Williams Merry Pink?
Sherwin Williams Merry Pink SW 6844 is a light, muted pink with a noticeable lilac cast, giving it a soft rose-lavender appearance rather than a sugary bubblegum look. Its pale value keeps it airy on full walls, while the grayed quality helps it feel restrained and grounded. In cooler daylight, Merry Pink can read slightly more lavender; warmer bulbs tend to bring out its gentler blush side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, and dressing areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and creamy textiles. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep plum, or a muted olive green.

LRV of Merry Pink
Merry Pink has an LRV of 63.58% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 63.58%, 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.
