What color is Sherwin Williams Gentle Grape?

Sherwin Williams Gentle Grape SW 9074 is a muted, medium-depth purple with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its dusty lavender tone can look a little cooler in north-facing daylight, while warmer bulbs may bring out a softer, slightly smoky violet character. Gentle Grape makes an interesting bedroom, powder room, or reading nook wall color when paired with warm white trim and natural oak. For a more grounded palette, combine it with charcoal, weathered brown wood, matte black hardware, or soft taupe textiles. It also has enough depth to use on a single accent wall or built-in cabinetry without making the finish feel loud.

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 26.42%, 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.
