What color is Sherwin Williams Poinsettia?
Sherwin Williams Poinsettia SW 6594 is a deep, muted red with a subtle berry cast that keeps it from reading as a pure primary red. Its medium-dark value and softened saturation give it presence without the sharp intensity of a brighter crimson. In daylight, Poinsettia can show its dusty red character, while warm evening light tends to bring out a richer, earthier warmth. It is especially effective on a dining room wall, powder room, front door, or built-in cabinetry where a concentrated dose of color feels intentional. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, dark stained wood, aged brass, or natural linen for a grounded interior palette.

LRV of Poinsettia
Poinsettia has an LRV of 10.26% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.26%, 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.
