What color is Sherwin Williams River Rouge?

Sherwin Williams River Rouge SW 6026 is a muted, medium-dark rose with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pink. Its red-violet undertone gives the color a soft plum influence, especially in lower or cooler light, while warm daylight can bring out its earthy rosy side. It has enough depth for a dining room, bedroom, or powder room, where it can create definition without feeling as heavy as a true burgundy. Pair River Rouge with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, or natural walnut for a grounded palette. On cabinetry or an accent wall, it looks especially considered beside aged brass hardware, black metal, and linen-textured fabrics.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 11.87%, 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.
