What color is Sherwin Williams Poppy Flower?

Sherwin Williams Poppy Flower SW 2904 is a deep, saturated red with a darkened crimson cast. Its strong red base feels warm rather than orange, while the low value gives it substantial visual weight on a wall or painted surface. In bright daylight, Poppy Flower reads as a clear, dramatic red; under lower or warmer lighting, it can appear richer and closer to a red wine tone. Use it for a dining room, powder room, front door, or a single accent wall where the depth will feel intentional. Crisp white trim, charcoal, black metal, natural walnut, and aged brass provide grounded pairings for this shade.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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%, 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.
