What color is Sherwin Williams Alyssum?
Sherwin Williams Alyssum SW 6589 is a very light, muted pink with a soft blush cast and a faint cool undertone. Its high value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the low saturation prevents it from reading overly sweet or bright. In warm artificial light, Alyssum can appear a touch warmer and rosier; clearer daylight brings out its powdery, near-neutral quality. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, or a softly colored ceiling, and can also make a gentle statement on built-ins. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, brushed brass, charcoal accents, or dusty green textiles for contrast.

LRV of Alyssum
Alyssum has an LRV of 71.12% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 71.12%, 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.
