What color is Sherwin Williams Queen Anne Lilac?
Sherwin Williams Queen Anne Lilac SW 0021 is a light, muted gray with a soft rosy-lilac cast rather than a distinctly purple appearance. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered look, with warm beige-pink undertones that become more noticeable in afternoon or incandescent light. In cooler daylight, this shade can read closer to a pale greige-gray with just a hint of blush. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living areas where a quiet neutral is wanted without relying on plain white or beige. Pair Queen Anne Lilac with creamy off-whites, warm wood finishes, aged brass, charcoal accents, or dusty blue textiles.
LRV of Queen Anne Lilac
Queen Anne Lilac has an LRV of 47.83% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 47.83%, 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.
