What color is Sherwin Williams Oleander?
Sherwin Williams Oleander SW 6603 is a light, warm pink with a gentle peach cast that keeps it from reading overly sugary. Its softened, low-to-medium saturation gives walls a washed, airy look, especially in rooms with abundant daylight. In warmer light, this shade can lean closer to a blushy apricot, while cooler daylight brings out its pale rosy side. Oleander suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, and small sitting areas, where it can be used across all four walls without feeling heavy. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, natural linen, muted terracotta, or dark bronze hardware for contrast.

LRV of Oleander
Oleander has an LRV of 65.88% 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 65.88%, 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.
