What color is Sherwin Williams Polvo de Oro?
Sherwin Williams Polvo de Oro SW 9012 is a warm, mid-light golden peach with a softly muted, earthy cast. Its #e8b87f color value reads as sun-baked apricot in bright daylight, while lower evening light can bring out more of its caramel and ochre depth. It has enough color to hold its own on a full wall, especially in dining rooms, kitchens, or entryways that need warmth without the heaviness of a deep terracotta. Polvo de Oro also makes a lively choice for painted cabinetry or an accent wall paired with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, and natural oak. Matte black hardware, woven fibers, aged brass, and clay-toned tile give this shade a grounded, tactile setting.
LRV of Polvo de Oro
Polvo de Oro has an LRV of 52.97% 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 52.97%, 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.
