What color is Sherwin Williams Salon Rose?
Sherwin Williams Salon Rose SW 0061 is a muted medium rose with balanced red and brown undertones that keep it grounded rather than sugary. Its #ab7878 color value gives it a softened, dusted appearance, with enough depth to read clearly on a full wall. In daylight, Salon Rose can show a gentle clay-rose cast, while lower or warmer light brings out its earthier side. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, powder rooms, and painted furniture, especially when paired with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal-gray accents. Use this shade on cabinetry or an accent wall when you want color that feels present without becoming overly bright.

LRV of Salon Rose
Salon Rose has an LRV of 23.46% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.46%, 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.
