What color is Sherwin Williams Red Door?
Sherwin Williams Red Door SW 2910 is a deep, highly saturated red with a direct, near-pure red appearance. Its #ac0000 color value gives it a strong warmth and notable visual weight, especially when used across a large wall. Red Door is most effective as a focal color on a front door, dining room accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or a powder room where its intensity can feel intentional. Bright daylight reveals its clear red character, while lower light makes it read darker and more dramatic. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, black metal hardware, or natural walnut for contrast that keeps the red grounded.

LRV of Red Door
Red Door has an LRV of 4.42% 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 4.42%, 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.
