What color is Sherwin Williams Hyacinth Tint?
Sherwin Williams Hyacinth Tint SW 6968 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable lavender cast, giving it a soft periwinkle appearance. Its pale value keeps the color airy on full walls, while the grayed quality prevents it from reading overly sweet or pastel. In north-facing rooms, Hyacinth Tint may appear cooler and bluer; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting can bring out more of its gentle violet undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, nurseries, and quiet reading areas, especially alongside crisp white trim or soft off-white ceilings. Pair it with light oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a grounded contrast, or use deeper navy and plum details to emphasize its blue-violet character.

LRV of Hyacinth Tint
Hyacinth Tint has an LRV of 59.65% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 59.65%, 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.
