What color is Sherwin Williams Ruby Shade?
Sherwin Williams Ruby Shade SW 6572 is a muted berry-red with a noticeable rosy violet cast. Its medium depth and softened saturation keep it from reading as a bright jewel tone, giving it a grounded, slightly dusky appearance instead. In bright daylight, Ruby Shade can show more of its red-rose character, while lower or cooler light may bring forward the plum-toned undertone. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, or a single accent wall where a deeper color can be appreciated up close. Pair it with warm ivory trim, charcoal accents, natural oak, or aged brass for contrast that feels considered rather than overly formal.

LRV of Ruby Shade
Ruby Shade has an LRV of 15.49% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.49%, 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.
