What color is Sherwin Williams Mulberry Silk?
Sherwin Williams Mulberry Silk SW 0001 is a muted, medium-depth rosy brown with a soft mauve cast. Its low-key saturation keeps the color from reading overly pink, giving it a grounded, gently weathered look on walls. In bright natural light, Mulberry Silk can appear like a dusty rose-beige, while warmer artificial light brings forward its earthy brown notes. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms, especially alongside creamy off-whites, warm taupe, walnut wood, aged brass, and natural linen. For a more defined use, try this shade on a vanity, built-in, or accent wall against deeper charcoal or brown-black details.

LRV of Mulberry Silk
Mulberry Silk has an LRV of 20.43% 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 20.43%, 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.
