What color is Sherwin Williams Ripe Berry?
Sherwin Williams Ripe Berry SW 9689 is a deep, muted violet-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the purple presence restrained, so it reads more like a smoky plum in brighter light and a shadowy charcoal-violet in dimmer rooms. This shade gives bedrooms, studies, and dining rooms a grounded look without the starkness of near-black paint. Pair Ripe Berry with soft off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and pale gray textiles to highlight its quiet violet undertone. It is especially effective on an accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or interior doors where its depth can add definition.

LRV of Ripe Berry
Ripe Berry has an LRV of 9.9% 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 9.9%, 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.
