What color is Sherwin Williams Scarlet?
Sherwin Williams Scarlet SW 2907 is a deep, high-impact red with strong saturation and a subtle darkened edge that keeps it from reading bright or orange. Its #b5001a color value gives it a concentrated red appearance that can look especially rich in lower light, while daylight brings out its clearer red character. Scarlet is best used where a bold field of color is wanted: a front door, dining room accent wall, painted interior door, or a small powder room. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, charcoal or black for a graphic look, or warm wood and aged brass for added depth.

LRV of Scarlet
Scarlet has an LRV of 12% 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 12%, 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.
