What color is Sherwin Williams Studio Mauve?

Sherwin Williams Studio Mauve SW 0062 is a light, muted pink-beige with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, powdery appearance, especially in rooms with indirect daylight. Warm bulbs can bring forward its rosy beige side, while cooler light makes the gray undertone more noticeable. Studio Mauve is well suited to bedrooms, dressing areas, and living rooms where a pale neutral with a hint of color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium warm wood, aged brass, charcoal textiles, or dusty olive accents for contrast.

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 50.17%, 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.
