What color is Sherwin Williams Rachel Pink?
Sherwin Williams Rachel Pink SW 0026 is a light, warm blush pink with a noticeable peach-beige cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading sugary, giving walls a softly colored look rather than a bright pink statement. In sunny rooms, Rachel Pink can appear warmer and more apricot-toned, while cooler daylight may bring out its gentle rosy side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, and dressing areas, especially when paired with creamy white trim, natural oak, woven linens, or aged brass. For contrast, try it alongside deep olive, charcoal, or a dusty blue-gray on textiles and accents.

LRV of Rachel Pink
Rachel Pink has an LRV of 54.9% 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 54.9%, 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.
