What color is Sherwin Williams Clematis?

Sherwin Williams Clematis SW 6831 is a medium-depth purple with a softened, muted cast rather than a bright violet intensity. Its blue-violet base gives it a cool lean, while the grayed quality keeps the color grounded on large walls. In daylight, Clematis can read as a dusty lavender-purple; lower or warmer light may bring out its deeper plum side. It suits a bedroom, powder room, reading nook, or painted accent wall where a noticeable color is welcome without looking overly saturated. Pair it with soft white trim, charcoal, pale gray-blue, natural oak, or brushed brass for a composed contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 15.93%, 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.
