What color is Sherwin Williams Quite Coral?

Sherwin Williams Quite Coral SW 6614 is a medium-depth coral with a clear warm red-orange cast and a softly earthy finish. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading too bright, giving the color a clay-like presence on larger walls. In strong daylight, Quite Coral can show more of its lively coral character, while evening light tends to draw out its deeper, rustier red tones. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, or front door, and can also add warmth to kitchen cabinetry when paired with light counters. Creamy off-whites, sandy beiges, warm wood, aged brass, and subdued green accents provide natural-looking contrast.

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 21.87%, 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.
