What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Red?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Red SW 2801 is a deep, brown-leaning red with a muted, earthy cast. Its #4b2929 value gives it substantial depth, so it reads more like a shaded oxblood or red-brown than a bright traditional red. In strong natural light, the red comes forward a little more, while low light can make this shade appear nearly brown. Use it on a dining room wall, library cabinetry, front door, or paneled accent wall where its dark character can be appreciated. Rookwood Dark Red pairs well with warm cream, aged brass, dark walnut, black accents, and natural stone or terracotta materials.

LRV of Rookwood Dark Red
Rookwood Dark Red has an LRV of 3.23% 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 3.23%, 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.
