What color is Sherwin Williams Chaise Mauve?
Sherwin Williams Chaise Mauve SW 6016 is a light, muted mauve with a gray cast that keeps its pink-violet color quiet rather than sugary. Its softened, low-saturation appearance gives walls a gentle warmth, while the gray influence prevents it from reading overly rosy. In bright daylight, Chaise Mauve can look like a pale dusty rose-gray; under warmer bulbs, its mauve note becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially alongside soft white trim, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use this color across full walls for a subdued wash of color or on cabinetry for a restrained alternative to plain gray.
LRV of Chaise Mauve
Chaise Mauve has an LRV of 46.67% 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 46.67%, 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.
