What color is Sherwin Williams Red Bay?

Sherwin Williams Red Bay SW 6321 is a deep, muted red with an earthy, brown-leaning cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its medium-dark depth gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, especially in dining rooms, libraries, entryways, or cozy bedrooms. In strong daylight, Red Bay can show more of its red character, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its subdued, near-burgundy richness. Use it as an accent wall, on built-in cabinetry, or for a front door where its saturated color can hold its own. Creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, dark wood, and blackened metal make especially natural companions.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 8.71%, 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.
