What color is Sherwin Williams Black Swan?
Sherwin Williams Black Swan SW 6279 is a near-black charcoal with a muted violet-gray cast visible beneath its deep surface. Its low-light depth makes it read almost black in dim rooms, while daylight can bring out the subtle purple undertone. Use it on a study wall, dining room cabinetry, or interior doors where a dark finish should feel softer than a plain black. Black Swan pairs well with warm white trim, pale greige walls, aged brass, walnut wood, and natural linen textiles. In a bright room, reserve this shade for an accent wall or built-in to keep the overall effect from becoming too heavy.

LRV of Black Swan
Black Swan has an LRV of 3.97% 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 3.97%, 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.
