What color is Sherwin Williams Toile Red?
Sherwin Williams Toile Red SW 0006 is a muted, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its #8b534e value reads as a medium-dark brick tone, carrying soft warmth and a slightly weathered look. In direct sun, Toile Red can appear clearer and more terracotta-leaning, while lower or cooler light brings out its deeper russet-brown side. It has enough depth for a dining room, library, or powder room wall, and it can also give a fireplace surround or built-in cabinetry a substantial focal-point presence. Pair this color with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or charcoal accents for contrast without making the palette feel overly sharp.

LRV of Toile Red
Toile Red has an LRV of 12.28% 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 12.28%, 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.
