What color is Sherwin Williams Thistle?
Sherwin Williams Thistle SW 6283 is a muted medium-tone mauve with a dusty mix of rose, violet, and soft gray. Its subdued saturation keeps the color from reading overly sweet, giving walls a gently weathered, powdery appearance instead. In bright daylight, Thistle can show more of its faded pink-violet character, while lower or cooler light may bring forward its gray-lilac side. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, powder rooms, and accent walls where a noticeable but restrained color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, pale oak, charcoal textiles, or deeper plum accents for contrast.

LRV of Thistle
Thistle has an LRV of 30.18% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 30.18%, 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.
