What color is Sherwin Williams Rose Colored?

Sherwin Williams Rose Colored SW 6303 is a light, muted blush pink with a gentle rosy cast and soft gray-beige restraint. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, making it a practical option for bedroom walls, powder rooms, or a calm nursery. In bright daylight, Rose Colored can appear like a pale petal pink, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its slightly earthier, more subdued side. Pair it with creamy white trim, warm oak, natural linen, and brushed brass for a layered, lived-in look. Deep brown, charcoal, or dusty green accents give this shade useful contrast without overpowering it.

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 52.15%, 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.
