What color is Sherwin Williams Minute Mauve?
Sherwin Williams Minute Mauve SW 7078 is a light, softly muted gray with a faint rosy cast visible beneath its neutral surface. Its low saturation keeps it restrained rather than overtly pink, making it read as a gentle greige-gray in many settings. In bright daylight, the color can appear pale and clean, while lower or warmer lighting may bring forward its subtle blush warmth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a near-neutral wall color feels less stark than plain gray. Pair Minute Mauve with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or brushed brass for a grounded finish.

LRV of Minute Mauve
Minute Mauve has an LRV of 59.16% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.16%, 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.
