What color is Sherwin Williams Raucous Orange?
Sherwin Williams Raucous Orange SW 6883 is a deep, saturated red-orange with a warm, earth-leaning cast. Its #c35530 color value gives it enough weight for a dining room wall, a powder room, or a painted front door rather than a broad, light-filled neutral backdrop. In direct sun, the orange side of the color becomes more pronounced, while lower or warmer interior light can bring out its deeper rusty-red character. Use Raucous Orange with soft cream trim, warm wood, blackened metal, or muted olive accents to keep the palette grounded. It also makes a strong statement on cabinetry or built-in shelving when paired with simple natural materials.

LRV of Raucous Orange
Raucous Orange has an LRV of 18.36% 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 18.36%, 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.
