What color is Sherwin Williams Agapanthus?
Sherwin Williams Agapanthus SW 9066 is a light, cool blue with a noticeable lavender-gray cast that keeps it from reading like a straightforward pastel. Its soft saturation makes it gentle on large wall areas, while the blue-violet undertone adds enough character for a bedroom, bath, or quiet home office. In bright natural light, Agapanthus appears cleaner and airier; under warmer bulbs, its muted lilac side becomes more apparent. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast. It is especially effective on walls and can also bring a subtle wash of color to cabinetry in a well-lit space.

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

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 55.62%, 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.
