What color is Sherwin Williams Red Cent?
Sherwin Williams Red Cent SW 6341 is a grounded, medium-depth terracotta red with clear earthy brown and orange undertones. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading like a bright brick red, giving the color a weathered, clay-like character instead. In strong daylight, Red Cent can show more of its warm copper-orange side, while lower light brings out its deeper red-brown base. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, or entry wall, and it also makes a distinctive choice for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm off-whites, sand-colored textiles, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Red Cent
Red Cent has an LRV of 18.63% 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 18.63%, 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.
