What color is Sherwin Williams Moroccan Spice?
Sherwin Williams Moroccan Spice SW 6060 is a deep, earthy orange with red-brown undertones, close to the color of sun-baked clay or a well-worn leather saddle. It has enough depth to feel grounded rather than bright, especially on large walls. In strong daylight, the orange notes come forward; under warm lamps in the evening, it can look richer and more russet. Try it in a dining room, library, powder room, or on a fireplace wall where its weight can be appreciated. Moroccan Spice pairs naturally with warm white trim, walnut furniture, aged brass, woven linen, and dark green accents.

LRV of Moroccan Spice
Moroccan Spice has an LRV of 21.7% 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 21.7%, 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.
