What color is Sherwin Williams Obi Lilac?
Sherwin Williams Obi Lilac SW 6556 is a muted, medium-light lavender with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its soft violet base can look slightly cooler in north-facing rooms, while warmer bulbs bring out a gentler, dustier purple tone. Obi Lilac suits bedroom walls, a reading nook, or a powder room where a quiet wash of color is wanted without strong saturation. Pair it with soft white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded contrast. It can also make an appealing accent on cabinetry or a painted interior door against warm off-white walls.

LRV of Obi Lilac
Obi Lilac has an LRV of 38.71% 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 38.71%, 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.
