What color is Sherwin Williams Ravishing Coral?
Sherwin Williams Ravishing Coral SW 6612 is a light, warm coral with a soft peach-pink cast and muted salmon undertones. Its moderate brightness keeps it cheerful without reading as sharply orange or overly sugary pink. In strong daylight, the color appears clearer and more peach-forward, while warmer evening light draws out its rosy side. Ravishing Coral can bring welcome color to a powder room, breakfast nook, or bedroom accent wall, and it also has enough softness for painted furniture. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or dusty blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Ravishing Coral
Ravishing Coral has an LRV of 40.09% 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 40.09%, 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.
