What color is Sherwin Williams Moss Rose?
Sherwin Williams Moss Rose SW 6291 is a muted mid-tone rose with a noticeable gray cast that keeps its pink from reading overly sweet. The #9e6d79 color value shows a softly dusty blend of red and mauve, with enough depth to hold its own on a full wall. In bright daylight, Moss Rose can appear a little clearer and rosier, while lower or warmer light brings out its subdued, earthy side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces, and also makes a grounded accent on cabinetry or a painted interior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, charcoal accents, or soft olive textiles for a palette with contrast and warmth.

LRV of Moss Rose
Moss Rose has an LRV of 19.55% 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 19.55%, 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.
