What color is Sherwin Williams Inkwell?
Sherwin Williams Inkwell SW 6992 is a deeply shaded charcoal that reads nearly black, softened by a subtle blue-gray cast. Its low-light value gives walls and cabinetry a crisp, grounded presence without looking flat or purely black. In bright daylight, the blue-gray note may be easier to notice, while dimmer rooms emphasize its darker, ink-like depth. Use it on an office wall, kitchen island, interior doors, or exterior trim where a strong dark contrast is wanted. Pale warm whites, weathered oak, brushed brass, and light gray stone provide clear, useful counterpoints to this shade.

LRV of Inkwell
Inkwell has an LRV of 3.63% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 3.63%, 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.
