What color is Sherwin Williams Redwing?
Sherwin Williams Redwing SW 2909 is a deep, highly saturated red with a dark, concentrated appearance. Its near-black green component keeps the color clean and intense rather than orange-leaning, while the small amount of blue gives it a faint cool-red edge. In bright light, Redwing reads as a vivid, assertive red; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a richer, darker tone. It is best used where a strong dose of color is wanted, such as a dining room accent wall, a front door, built-in cabinetry, or a dramatic powder room. Pair this shade with warm white trim, charcoal, blackened metal, natural oak, or pale stone to give its depth some contrast.

LRV of Redwing
Redwing has an LRV of 4.16% 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 4.16%, 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.
