What color is Sherwin Williams Deepest Mauve?
Sherwin Williams Deepest Mauve SW 0005 is a muted, medium-dark mauve with a gray-brown cast that keeps its purple-red character restrained. Its #6d595a value gives it a soft, weathered appearance rather than a bright or sugary pink effect. In daylight, the shade can read as a dusty rose-brown, while lower or warmer lighting may draw out its deeper plum and cocoa notes. Deepest Mauve has enough depth for a dining room, bedroom, or library wall, especially when paired with warm white trim and natural oak. It also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry or a small accent area alongside aged brass, linen, and charcoal-toned textiles.

LRV of Deepest Mauve
Deepest Mauve has an LRV of 11.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.13%, 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.
