What color is Sherwin Williams Black Magic?
Sherwin Williams Black Magic SW 6991 is a near-black charcoal with a balanced, low-saturation appearance rather than a stark pitch-black read. Its #323132 color value keeps it deep and grounded, while the close mix of red, green, and blue gives it a largely neutral cast. In bright daylight, Black Magic may show its charcoal character more clearly; in dim rooms or at night, it can appear almost black. Use it for a dramatic accent wall, interior doors, cabinetry, or exterior trim, especially alongside crisp white, pale greige, natural oak, brushed brass, or matte black hardware.
LRV of Black Magic
Black Magic has an LRV of 3.12% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 3.12%, 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.
