What color is Sherwin Williams Roycroft Copper Red?
Sherwin Williams Roycroft Copper Red SW 2839 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its #7b3728 color value reads as warm and muted, somewhere between brick red and weathered copper in most settings. In strong daylight, the red comes forward more clearly, while lower or north-facing light can make this shade appear darker and more brown-red. It has enough depth for a dining room, library, front door, or accent wall, and can also give built-in cabinetry a substantial, old-world look. Pair Roycroft Copper Red with warm off-whites, dark wood, aged brass, black iron, and natural leather for a layered, material-rich interior.
LRV of Roycroft Copper Red
Roycroft Copper Red has an LRV of 7.03% 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 7.03%, 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.
