What color is Sherwin Williams Mauve Finery?

Sherwin Williams Mauve Finery SW 6282 is a light, muted mauve with a soft gray cast that keeps its rosy color from feeling sugary. Its low-saturation finish reads as a dusty pink-violet, with the color appearing a little warmer in afternoon sun and more hushed under cool artificial light. Mauve Finery is well suited to bedroom walls, a powder room, or a sitting area where a pale color with more character than beige is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal or deep plum accents for contrast. On cabinetry or a painted vanity, this shade can bring gentle color to a room without making the surface feel overly bold.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 50.82%, 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.
