What color is Sherwin Williams Grandeur Plum?
Sherwin Williams Grandeur Plum SW 6565 is a muted, medium-depth plum with a dusty rose cast that keeps its purple side grounded. Its red-violet base reads warm rather than blue, giving walls a softened berry tone instead of a sharp, theatrical purple. In bright daylight, Grandeur Plum can show more of its rosy undertone, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper wine-like character. It has enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall, and can also make built-in cabinetry feel more deliberate. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, warm greige, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Grandeur Plum
Grandeur Plum has an LRV of 14.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.13%, 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.
