What color is Sherwin Williams Magical?
Sherwin Williams Magical SW 6829 is a light, muted lavender with a noticeable gray cast that keeps the purple from feeling overly sweet. Its cool-leaning character reads clearest in daylight, while warm evening bulbs can bring out a softer, dustier violet appearance. It has enough pale value for bedroom, nursery, or bathroom walls, especially where a gentle wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair Magical with soft white trim, pale oak, weathered gray textiles, or charcoal accents for contrast. Brushed nickel and matte black hardware give this shade a clean, contemporary edge.

LRV of Magical
Magical has an LRV of 46.38% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 46.38%, 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.
