What color is Sherwin Williams Redbud?
Sherwin Williams Redbud SW 6312 is a muted mid-tone red with a noticeable rosy cast and soft brown-gray restraint. Its color value, #ad5e65, gives it enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall without reading as a bright primary red. Redbud can appear dustier in softer, low light and show more of its warm rose-red character in brighter daylight. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, deep charcoal, or natural oak for a grounded palette. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or a front door when balanced with quieter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Redbud
Redbud has an LRV of 17.95% 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 17.95%, 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.
