What color is Sherwin Williams Pinky Beige?
Sherwin Williams Pinky Beige SW 0079 is a muted, medium-light beige with a noticeable rosy cast that keeps it from reading flat or yellow. Its warm undertone suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where a soft, earth-based neutral is wanted. In brighter daylight, Pinky Beige can show more of its dusty pink influence, while lower or warmer light tends to bring forward its beige base. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, clay accents, natural oak, linen, and aged brass for a grounded palette. This shade is especially effective on full walls, though it can also give built-in cabinetry a gentle, low-contrast color statement.

LRV of Pinky Beige
Pinky Beige has an LRV of 43.37% 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 43.37%, 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.
