What color is Sherwin Williams Lavish Lavender?
Sherwin Williams Lavish Lavender SW 6975 is a medium-depth purple with a muted, gray-softened cast rather than a sugary pastel look. Its violet character is clear, with enough blue to keep the color from reading overly warm, while the subdued saturation gives it a composed appearance on larger walls. In bright daylight, Lavish Lavender can look cleaner and slightly cooler; lower, warmer light tends to bring out its softer mauve side. It suits bedrooms, reading nooks, and powder rooms, and can also make a distinctive accent wall behind a bed or built-in shelving. Pair it with soft white trim, charcoal, pale oak, brushed brass, or deep plum accents for contrast.

LRV of Lavish Lavender
Lavish Lavender has an LRV of 22.32% 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 22.32%, 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.
