What color is Sherwin Williams Gutsy Grape?

Sherwin Williams Gutsy Grape SW 6980 is a medium-deep purple with a muted, slightly smoky cast rather than a bright violet punch. Its blend of red and blue gives it a cool-leaning grape character, while the softened saturation keeps it grounded on a full wall. In daylight, this shade can read as a dusty violet; under warm bulbs, its plum notes may become more noticeable. Use it in a dining room, powder room, reading nook, or bedroom where a deeper color can define the space. Gutsy Grape pairs well with soft gray-beige trim, creamy off-whites, dark walnut, black metal, and brushed brass. It also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a single focal wall when the surrounding finishes are kept light and simple.

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 11.21%, 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.
