What color is Sherwin Williams Rave Red?
Sherwin Williams Rave Red SW 6608 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or cherry-toned. Its saturated mid-to-dark value gives walls a grounded presence, especially in dining rooms, libraries, or smaller powder rooms where a strong color can feel intentional. In bright daylight, Rave Red shows its warm red character more clearly, while evening light can draw out its deeper, slightly muted quality. Pair it with warm white trim, dark wood furniture, aged brass, and natural leather for a layered, collected look. It can also make a handsome statement on a front door, built-in cabinetry, or a single accent wall.
LRV of Rave Red
Rave Red has an LRV of 11% 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 11%, 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.
