What color is Sherwin Williams Reddened Earth?
Sherwin Williams Reddened Earth SW 6053 is a muted, medium-depth clay color with a noticeable rosy red cast and soft brown grounding. Its #9c6e63 value gives it an earthy warmth without the brightness of a true terracotta or brick red. In daylight, this shade can read as a dusty red-brown, while lower or warmer artificial light may draw out its more subdued, cocoa-like side. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom feature wall, and can also make painted cabinetry feel grounded rather than overly dark. Pair Reddened Earth with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, aged brass, and linen or leather textures.

LRV of Reddened Earth
Reddened Earth has an LRV of 19.15% 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 19.15%, 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.
