What color is Sherwin Williams Poetry Plum?
Sherwin Williams Poetry Plum SW 6019 is a muted, medium-dark plum with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly purple. Its red-violet base gives the color a softly warm, dusty character, while the subdued saturation makes it feel grounded on a full wall. In daylight, Poetry Plum can appear like a weathered mauve-plum; under warm lamps, its reddish undertones become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, powder rooms, and built-in cabinetry where a deeper color is welcome without becoming too bold. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige, charcoal, aged brass, walnut, or natural linen for a layered interior palette.

LRV of Poetry Plum
Poetry Plum has an LRV of 11.96% 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 11.96%, 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.
