What color is Sherwin Williams Inspired Lilac?
Sherwin Williams Inspired Lilac SW 6820 is a very light, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its pale violet undertone is most noticeable in balanced daylight, while warmer bulbs can make it look gentler and slightly more silvery. This shade has enough coolness for a bedroom, bathroom, or dressing area, especially alongside crisp white trim and pale oak. Pair Inspired Lilac with charcoal, brushed nickel, cloudy blue-gray textiles, or natural linen for contrast without making the room feel busy. On large walls, its low saturation gives a quiet wash of color; on a ceiling or small accent area, it offers a subtle alternative to white.

LRV of Inspired Lilac
Inspired Lilac has an LRV of 70.73% 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 70.73%, 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.
