What color is Sherwin Williams Reverie Pink?
Sherwin Williams Reverie Pink SW 6856 is a light, clear pink with a soft rosy cast and enough brightness to read cleanly rather than dusty. Its #f1cad3 color value gives it a pale, gently saturated appearance that can look fresher in daylight and slightly creamier under warm evening bulbs. Use it on bedroom, nursery, or powder room walls where a visible pink is welcome without making the room feel dark. Reverie Pink pairs nicely with crisp white trim, pale natural wood, brushed brass, and muted green or blue-gray accents. It can also add a playful note to a painted vanity, interior door, or small accent wall.

LRV of Reverie Pink
Reverie Pink has an LRV of 65.6% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 65.6%, 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.
