What color is Sherwin Williams Lavendar Wisp?
Sherwin Williams Lavendar Wisp SW 7138 is an extremely light, cool-leaning gray with a faint blue cast visible beneath its near-white surface. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet and airy, reading almost white in bright rooms while showing a clearer soft gray-blue note in shade or evening light. Use it on walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or light-filled living areas where a crisp but not stark backdrop is wanted. Lavendar Wisp pairs well with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and soft slate-blue textiles. It is best suited to broad wall areas or ceilings rather than small accents, where its subtle color shift has room to register.

LRV of Lavendar Wisp
Lavendar Wisp has an LRV of 82.79% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.79%, 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.
