What color is Sherwin Williams Kimono Violet?
Sherwin Williams Kimono Violet SW 6839 is a deep, muted violet with a smoky cast that keeps its purple character grounded rather than bright. Its low green content gives it a pronounced plum-purple appearance, while the nearly even red and blue tones prevent it from reading overly warm or overly blue. In daylight, this shade can show a softened, dusky violet look; under warm lamps, it is likely to feel darker and closer to an aubergine-inspired purple. Kimono Violet makes a strong choice for a dining room, library, powder room, or a single accent wall where its depth can be appreciated up close. Pair it with soft cream, pale greige, weathered oak, matte black hardware, or brushed brass for contrast without competing with the color.
LRV of Kimono Violet
Kimono Violet has an LRV of 6.14% 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 6.14%, 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.
