What color is Sherwin Williams Chelsea Mauve?
Sherwin Williams Chelsea Mauve SW 0002 is a muted, mid-tone beige with a noticeable rosy cast softened by gray. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like a weathered neutral than a bright pink or purple. In bright natural light, Chelsea Mauve can show its warm blush-beige side, while lower or cooler light brings forward its subdued taupe-gray character. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a warmer neutral is wanted without the yellow pull of many beiges. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep brown accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Chelsea Mauve undertones?
Chelsea Mauve is a mid-light, very muted caramel tan. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Chelsea Mauve
Chelsea Mauve has an LRV of 42.75% 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 42.75%, 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.
