What color is Sherwin Williams Robust Orange?
Sherwin Williams Robust Orange SW 6628 is a warm, medium-depth orange with a noticeable red-clay cast, shown here as #c4633e. Its earthy saturation gives it more weight than a bright citrus orange, making it especially effective on a dining-room accent wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry. In direct daylight, this shade appears clearer and more animated, while evening light draws out its deeper rust-like character. Pair Robust Orange with soft cream, sandy beige, warm white, aged brass, natural oak, or dark charcoal for contrast. It also suits textured materials such as terracotta tile, woven grasscloth, linen, and matte black metal.

LRV of Robust Orange
Robust Orange has an LRV of 21.14% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.14%, 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.
