What color is Sherwin Williams Red Barn?
Sherwin Williams Red Barn SW 7591 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its muted, clay-like character reads warm and substantial on walls, especially in dining rooms, studies, or entryways. In strong daylight, Red Barn shows more of its weathered red tone, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its darker brown-red depth. It makes a strong choice for cabinetry, a front door, or an accent wall paired with creamy off-whites, charcoal, black metal, and natural wood. Linen, aged leather, brick, and brass accents all complement this shade’s rustic, lived-in color.
LRV of Red Barn
Red Barn has an LRV of 8.86% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.86%, 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.
