What color is Sherwin Williams Obstinate Orange?
Sherwin Williams Obstinate Orange SW 6884 is a punchy, red-leaning orange with the heat of a ripe blood orange rather than a soft pumpkin tone. It reads vivid and energetic on large walls, so it is often easier to use on a front door, kitchen island, built-in shelving, or a single dining-room wall. Strong daylight brings out its clear orange side, while warm evening bulbs can push it closer to glowing red-orange. Pair it with creamy warm whites, honey-toned oak, natural linen, and aged brass to keep the room grounded. For more contrast, deep navy or dark forest green gives this shade a crisp, graphic edge.

LRV of Obstinate Orange
Obstinate Orange has an LRV of 21.22% 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 21.22%, 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.
