What color is Sherwin Williams Sunset?

Sherwin Williams Sunset SW 6626 is a warm, medium-light coral with clear peach and softened orange-red notes. Its color has enough depth to read confidently on a wall, yet it avoids the sharpness of a true bright orange. In direct light, Sunset can look sunnier and more peach-forward; lower or cooler light brings out its earthier salmon side. It suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and playful bedrooms, or can be used as an accent on a painted door or built-in. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, natural linen, warm tan, or a muted blue-green 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 38.62%, 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.
