What color is Sherwin Williams Radish?
Sherwin Williams Radish SW 6861 is a punchy red with clear pink-magenta undertones, closer to the crisp skin of a radish than to a brick or wine red. It reads bright and energetic on a wall, especially in daylight, while warm lamps can pull out its deeper berry side. Radish is best used with intention: on a dining room accent wall, a powder room, painted cabinetry, or the inside of a front door. Ground it with warm white trim, natural oak, walnut, woven linen, or honed stone so the color does not feel overly sharp. Brass hardware and dark green foliage also suit its lively, slightly spicy character.

LRV of Radish
Radish has an LRV of 10.24% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.24%, 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.
