What color is Sherwin Williams Show Stopper?
Sherwin Williams Show Stopper SW 7588 is a saturated, medium-deep red with a subtle blue cast that keeps it from reading orange or brick-like. Its strong pigment gives walls clear definition, especially in a dining room, powder room, or entry where a bolder color can be contained. In bright daylight, Show Stopper appears crisp and vivid, while lower light brings out its darker, wine-red side. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, black metal, or pale oak for contrast that lets the red remain the focal point. It is especially effective on an accent wall, painted interior door, or cabinetry detail rather than across a large open-plan space.
LRV of Show Stopper
Show Stopper has an LRV of 10.21% 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 10.21%, 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.
