What color is Sherwin Williams Rose Embroidery?

Sherwin Williams Rose Embroidery SW 6297 is a muted rose pink with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its soft, medium-light depth gives walls color without making a room feel dominated by pink. In warm daylight, Rose Embroidery can appear gently peach-rose, while cooler light brings forward its dusty mauve side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dressing areas, and can also add restrained color to a ceiling or built-in accent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, brushed brass, charcoal textiles, or deep brown accents for contrast.

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 39.09%, 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.
