What color is Sherwin Williams Ruby Violet?

Sherwin Williams Ruby Violet SW 9076 is a muted mid-tone violet with a noticeable dusty gray cast, reflected in its soft mauve-plum appearance. It reads more restrained than a vivid purple, with enough warmth to keep it from feeling icy or overly blue. In brighter light, the color can look lighter and rosier, while lower or cooler lighting brings out its deeper gray-violet side. Ruby Violet is well suited to a bedroom wall, powder room, or dining area where a colored neutral can add definition without dominating the room. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal, natural oak, aged brass, or muted green-gray accents for a grounded palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 23.61%, 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.
