What color is Sherwin Williams Izmir Purple?
Sherwin Williams Izmir Purple SW 6825 is a deep, muted violet with a noticeable blue-gray cast. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving the color a grounded, shadowy presence on walls or built-ins. In cooler daylight, Izmir Purple can lean more blue-violet, while warm evening lighting brings forward its softened purple character. It makes a strong choice for a study, dining room, powder room, or a single accent wall where a darker color feels intentional. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered gray wood, charcoal metals, or dusty blue textiles to support its cool, moody undertone.

LRV of Izmir Purple
Izmir Purple has an LRV of 6.56% 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 6.56%, 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.
