What color is Sherwin Williams Fully Purple?
Sherwin Williams Fully Purple SW 6983 is a deep, saturated violet with a noticeable blue cast that keeps it from reading overly red or plum-like. It has the dense, inky look of a crushed purple velvet ribbon, especially in rooms with limited natural light. On a feature wall, built-in bookcase, or powder room vanity, this shade brings real depth without disappearing into black. Bright daylight reveals more of its royal-purple character, while warm lamps can draw out a slightly softer, warmer violet note. Pair it with warm white trim, medium oak, walnut, aged brass, or dark green accents for a room that feels grounded rather than overly theatrical.

LRV of Fully Purple
Fully Purple has an LRV of 8.38% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.38%, 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.
