What color is Sherwin Williams Gris Morado?
Sherwin Williams Gris Morado SW 9156 is a medium-depth gray with a restrained violet cast, visible in its slightly cooler, mauve-leaning base. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like a softened neutral than a pronounced purple. In bright daylight, Gris Morado can appear as a balanced cool gray, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its subtle plum-gray character. It suits bedrooms, offices, and living-room walls where a gray with more nuance than plain charcoal is wanted. Pair it with soft white trim, weathered oak, charcoal textiles, or brushed nickel for a clean, layered look.

LRV of Gris Morado
Gris Morado has an LRV of 26.17% and refers to Medium 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 26.17%, 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.
