What color is Sherwin Williams Kismet?
Sherwin Williams Kismet SW 6830 is a muted mid-tone lavender with a clear violet cast and a softened, slightly gray finish. Its low saturation keeps the purple from feeling sugary, giving it enough depth for a bedroom wall, reading nook, or painted interior door. In bright daylight, Kismet can appear like a gentle dusty lilac, while lower or cooler light brings forward its more shadowed blue-violet side. Pair it with soft white trim, pale greige upholstery, light oak, or brushed nickel for a restrained palette. For more contrast, deep charcoal, inky navy, and black accents give this color a sharper architectural edge.

LRV of Kismet
Kismet has an LRV of 29.24% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.24%, 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.
