What color is Sherwin Williams Venture Violet?
Sherwin Williams Venture Violet SW 6970 is a medium blue-violet with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is most apparent in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring out a gentler periwinkle quality. Use it on a bedroom wall, reading nook, or painted built-in where its quiet color presence can hold its own without overwhelming the room. Crisp white trim gives Venture Violet a clean contrast, while pale gray, muted lavender, and natural oak create a more layered palette. Matte black hardware or brushed nickel adds definition without competing with this shade’s blue-violet tone.

LRV of Venture Violet
Venture Violet has an LRV of 22.62% 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 22.62%, 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.
