What color is Sherwin Williams Stirring Orange?

Sherwin Williams Stirring Orange SW 6889 is a light, sun-warmed orange with a clear peachy cast. Its #f6b064 color value keeps it bright and cheerful rather than deep or rusty, making it feel more like a softened citrus tone than a saturated pumpkin shade. In strong daylight, it can read as a lively apricot-orange, while lower or warmer light brings out its creamy peach side. It suits a breakfast nook, children’s room, powder room, or a painted accent wall where a warm dose of color is welcome. Pair Stirring Orange with clean white trim, pale warm neutrals, light oak, rattan, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 51.43%, 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.
