What color is Sherwin Williams Quixotic Plum?
Sherwin Williams Quixotic Plum SW 6265 is a deep, muted purple-gray with a noticeably cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, reading almost like charcoal in dim rooms while allowing the plum-violet character to surface in clearer daylight. Use it on a study wall, dining room, or bedroom for depth without the sharpness of true black. Quixotic Plum also makes a strong cabinet or interior-door color alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and soft gray stone. In sunlit spaces, pair this shade with creamy neutrals to keep its dark, blue-leaning undertones from feeling too heavy.

LRV of Quixotic Plum
Quixotic Plum has an LRV of 6.47% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.47%, 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.
