What color is Sherwin Williams Dahlia?
Sherwin Williams Dahlia SW 6816 is a medium-light periwinkle blue with a noticeable violet cast. Its cool blue base keeps it fresh, while the softened lavender undertone prevents it from reading overly icy or primary. In daylight, Dahlia can appear clearer and bluer; warmer artificial light may bring out more of its purple side. It makes a compelling bedroom, bathroom, or reading-nook wall color, especially alongside crisp white trim and pale oak. For a more grounded scheme, pair this shade with charcoal, deep navy, brushed nickel, or natural linen fabrics.

LRV of Dahlia
Dahlia has an LRV of 31.77% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 31.77%, 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.
