What color is Sherwin Williams Plum Dandy?
Sherwin Williams Plum Dandy SW 6284 is a muted, medium-depth plum with a softened mauve-gray cast. Its reddish-violet base keeps it warm enough for bedrooms, dining rooms, or a powder room, while the subdued saturation prevents it from reading overly sweet or bright. In stronger daylight, this color can show more of its dusty purple character; under warm lamps, the brownish rose notes become more noticeable. Plum Dandy makes a considered choice for an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a full room paired with creamy off-whites, soft taupes, and charcoal details. Natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and matte black hardware give this shade a grounded, edited look.

LRV of Plum Dandy
Plum Dandy has an LRV of 16.83% 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 16.83%, 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.
