What color is Sherwin Williams Elation?
Sherwin Williams Elation SW 6827 is a very light lavender-gray with a cool, softly muted cast. Its pale violet undertone is subtle enough for broad walls, reading almost like an off-white in bright daylight while becoming more noticeably lilac in lower or warmer light. Elation suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet sitting rooms where a faint touch of color feels more interesting than plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details to keep the palette clean and grounded. For a layered look, add deeper plum-gray textiles or dusty blue accents rather than strong warm colors.

LRV of Elation
Elation has an LRV of 72.32% and refers to Off‑White 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 72.32%, 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.
