What color is Sherwin Williams Elderberry?

Sherwin Williams Elderberry SW 2902 is a deep, red-based berry shade with a muted wine character. Its #7c243d color value gives it noticeable warmth, while the darkened rose-red base keeps it from reading as bright or candy-like. Use it on a dining room wall, a powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a concentrated color can feel intentional rather than overwhelming. Elderberry pairs well with warm white trim, walnut wood, aged brass, and soft blush or dusty beige textiles. In lower light, this shade will appear richer and more shadowed, making it especially effective as an accent wall or on smaller architectural details.

LRV of Elderberry

Elderberry has an LRV of 5% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect lightWhy LRV is important?

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 5%, 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.
