What color is Sherwin Williams Patchwork Plum?
Sherwin Williams Patchwork Plum SW 0022 is a muted, mid-depth mauve-gray with a soft dusty red cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly purple, giving the color a grounded, weathered appearance instead. In daylight, it can look like a warm charcoal softened by faded rose, while dimmer rooms may bring out its deeper plum-brown side. Use Patchwork Plum on a bedroom wall, a dining-room accent, or painted cabinetry where a dark neutral with subtle color feels more interesting than plain gray. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal textiles, or clay-toned accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Patchwork Plum undertones?
Patchwork Plum is a midtone, very muted brownish taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Patchwork Plum
Patchwork Plum has an LRV of 15.62% 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 15.62%, 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.
