What color is Sherwin Williams Joyful Lilac?
Sherwin Williams Joyful Lilac SW 6972 is a very light, muted lilac with a soft gray cast and a faint rosy-purple undertone. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the low saturation prevents it from reading like a sugary pastel. In daylight, this shade can appear close to an off-white with a lavender tint; warmer evening lighting brings out more of its gentle pink-violet side. Joyful Lilac suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially with crisp white trim or light oak. Pair it with brushed nickel, pale stone, charcoal accents, or deeper plum textiles for added definition.

LRV of Joyful Lilac
Joyful Lilac has an LRV of 69.2% 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 69.2%, 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.
