What color is Sherwin Williams Dried Lavender?
Sherwin Williams Dried Lavender SW 9072 is a muted mid-tone blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered appearance. Its gray base keeps the blue from reading bright, while a subtle violet cast adds softness without making the color look purple. In north-facing rooms, Dried Lavender can appear more slate-blue; warmer afternoon light tends to reveal its gentler gray-violet side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces on full walls, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or a painted interior door. Pair this shade with soft white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen for a grounded palette.
LRV of Dried Lavender
Dried Lavender has an LRV of 29.32% 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 29.32%, 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.
