What color is Sherwin Williams Truepenny?

Sherwin Williams Truepenny SW 6355 is a medium-depth, earthy orange-brown with clear copper and clay tones. Its warm cast reads like sun-baked terracotta in bright daylight, while lower light can bring out its deeper rust-brown side. Truepenny has enough saturation to hold its own on an accent wall, front door, or painted cabinetry without looking neon or overly red. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal, or natural wood for a grounded palette. It also sits especially well beside aged brass, black metal, leather, and woven textures.

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 20.93%, 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.
