What color is Sherwin Williams Awesome Violet?
Sherwin Williams Awesome Violet SW 6815 is a light, muted blue-violet with a clear periwinkle cast. Its soft grayness keeps the color from reading overly sweet, while the blue presence gives it a noticeably cool character. In bright daylight, Awesome Violet can look like a powdery lavender-blue; under warmer lamps, its violet side becomes more apparent. It is especially well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet home offices, or as a gentle color for built-in cabinetry. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper navy textiles for contrast.

LRV of Awesome Violet
Awesome Violet has an LRV of 44.98% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 44.98%, 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.
