What color is Sherwin Williams Mythical?
Sherwin Williams Mythical SW 6550 is a muted, medium-depth violet-gray with a noticeable dusky lavender cast. Its softened saturation keeps the purple from feeling sugary, giving walls a quiet, shadowed color presence instead. In bright daylight, Mythical may read as a gentle gray-purple, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its deeper plum undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading nooks particularly well, and can also make a distinctive accent wall behind a bed or bookcase. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal gray, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a grounded finish.

LRV of Mythical
Mythical has an LRV of 19.66% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19.66%, 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.
