What color is Sherwin Williams Tangerine?
Sherwin Williams Tangerine SW 6640 is a light, warm orange with a softened peachy cast rather than a deep citrus intensity. Its #f2ac78 color value gives it a sunny, mid-light appearance that can read gentler in low light and more lively in bright daylight. Tangerine suits a breakfast nook, playroom, front door, or a single accent wall where an energetic color is welcome without becoming too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale warm beige, natural oak, rattan, and terracotta for a cohesive warm-toned palette. For contrast, charcoal details or muted blue-green accents can give this shade a sharper, more contemporary edge.

LRV of Tangerine
Tangerine has an LRV of 49.85% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 49.85%, 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.
