What color is Sherwin Williams Berry Frappé?
Sherwin Williams Berry Frappé SW 9068 is a light, muted lavender with a noticeable gray cast that keeps its purple tone soft rather than sugary. Its cool-leaning character can read a little clearer and more violet in bright natural light, while lower light brings forward its dusty, subdued side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading nooks where a pale color with more personality than standard gray is wanted. Pair Berry Frappé with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast. On a full wall, this shade has enough depth to be visible without making a small room feel heavily colored.

LRV of Berry Frappé
Berry Frappé has an LRV of 39.16% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.16%, 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.
