What color is Sherwin Williams Spicy Hue?
Sherwin Williams Spicy Hue SW 6342 is a deep, earthy red-orange with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its warmth reads like fired clay or aged brick, while the moderate depth gives it substantial visual weight on a wall. In strong daylight, the orange-red character comes forward; under softer or warmer lighting, it can appear more subdued and russet. Use Spicy Hue for a dining room, powder room, or fireplace wall where a saturated color can define the space. It pairs naturally with warm whites, charcoal, dark wood, black metal, and tan leather.

LRV of Spicy Hue
Spicy Hue has an LRV of 12.05% 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 12.05%, 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.
