What color is Sherwin Williams Feathery Lilac?
Sherwin Williams Feathery Lilac SW 7141 is an extremely light, softly muted lavender-white with a faint cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color close to a pale neutral, while the slight violet tint becomes more noticeable beside crisp white trim or warm beige furnishings. In bright daylight, Feathery Lilac can read nearly off-white; lower or cooler lighting brings out its delicate purple-gray character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet sitting areas where a barely-there color is preferred over plain white. Pair it with soft charcoal, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or creamy white textiles for contrast without making the room feel stark.

LRV of Feathery Lilac
Feathery Lilac has an LRV of 81.04% 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 81.04%, 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.
