What color is Sherwin Williams Nasturtium?
Sherwin Williams Nasturtium SW 6899 is a clear, high-energy orange with a sunny golden cast. Its #f9ac34 color value gives it a bright, medium-light appearance that feels more like ripe citrus or marigold than a deep rust. In strong daylight, Nasturtium reads cheerful and glowing, while warmer evening light can bring out its richer yellow-orange side. It makes a memorable choice for a front door, dining-area accent wall, breakfast nook, or painted furniture. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood, matte black hardware, or deep leafy greens to give its bold color a grounded setting.

LRV of Nasturtium
Nasturtium has an LRV of 49.82% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.82%, 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.
