What color is Sherwin Williams Tanager?
Sherwin Williams Tanager SW 6601 is a deep, saturated red with a clear warm cast and a subtle earthy quality. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a dining room, study, powder room, or a dramatic entry wall. In brighter daylight, the red reads more vivid, while lower light brings out its darker, grounded side. Tanager makes a strong choice for cabinetry, built-ins, or a front door when a full-room application feels too bold. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or creamy upholstery to give the color room to stand out.

LRV of Tanager
Tanager has an LRV of 10.98% 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 10.98%, 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.
