What color is Sherwin Williams Prominent Pink?
Sherwin Williams Prominent Pink SW 6846 is a medium-light pink with a softened mauve-purple cast rather than a peachy or coral direction. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving walls a noticeable wash of color without the intensity of a hot pink. In bright daylight, this shade can appear clearer and rosier, while lower or cooler light may bring forward its lavender undertone. Prominent Pink suits a powder room, bedroom, dressing area, or a painted accent such as a vanity or interior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal, deep plum, or natural oak and brass for contrast that lets the pink remain the focal point.

LRV of Prominent Pink
Prominent Pink has an LRV of 43.31% 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 43.31%, 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.
