What color is Sherwin Williams Beguiling Mauve?

Sherwin Williams Beguiling Mauve SW 6269 is a muted mauve-gray with a soft, dusty cast rather than a bright purple presence. Its mid-light depth keeps it gentle on broad walls, while the subtle pink-violet undertone adds more character than a standard gray. In warm daylight or lamplight, Beguiling Mauve can read a little rosier; cooler light brings forward its quieter gray-lilac side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading corners, especially alongside creamy whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, and light oak. For a more tailored look, pair this shade with black-framed artwork, slate textiles, or deep plum details.

LRV of Beguiling Mauve

Beguiling Mauve has an LRV of 39.56% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.56%, 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.
