What color is Sherwin Williams Youthful Coral?

Sherwin Williams Youthful Coral SW 6604 is a light, warm coral-pink with a soft peach cast that keeps it from reading like a traditional pastel pink. Its medium-light value gives walls noticeable color while retaining an airy appearance, especially in rooms with generous daylight. Warm bulbs can pull out its peachier side, while cooler natural light may make its pink undertone more apparent. Use Youthful Coral on a powder room, nursery, breakfast nook, or painted accent wall, and pair it with creamy whites, pale wood, woven cane, or muted sage green. It can also bring a cheerful, color-blocked look to cabinetry or a front door when surrounded by quieter neutral finishes.

LRV of Youthful Coral

Youthful Coral has an LRV of 52.05% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 52.05%, 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.
