What color is Sherwin Williams Rembrandt Ruby?
Sherwin Williams Rembrandt Ruby SW 0033 is a muted, medium-dark red with a clear earthy cast that keeps it from reading as overly bright or theatrical. Its brownish, clay-like undertone gives the color a warm, grounded appearance, especially in daylight. In lower light, Rembrandt Ruby can look deeper and more subdued, making it well suited to dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, or a single accent wall. Pair it with soft warm whites, sand-colored neutrals, aged brass, dark wood, and natural leather for a layered, lived-in look. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door where a restrained red is wanted.

LRV of Rembrandt Ruby
Rembrandt Ruby has an LRV of 12.7% 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 12.7%, 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.
