What color is Sherwin Williams Osage Orange?
Sherwin Williams Osage Orange SW 6890 is a clear, high-energy orange with strong golden-yellow undertones, closer to the peel of a ripe citrus fruit than to a rusty terracotta. It reads brightest in direct daylight, while warm bulbs can pull out its sunny, almost amber side; in a north-facing room, it may look a little sharper and more yellow. This is a color with real visual weight, so it is often most effective on a front door, kitchen island, painted chair, or one accent wall rather than throughout an entire room. Pair it with warm white walls, natural oak, woven linen, and aged brass to keep the look grounded. Deep navy or leafy dark green provide a useful contrast when the room needs more structure.
LRV of Osage Orange
Osage Orange has an LRV of 44.84% 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 44.84%, 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.
