What color is Sherwin Williams Verve Violet?

Sherwin Williams Verve Violet SW 6979 is a medium-depth purple with a noticeable berry-red cast that keeps it from reading as a strictly blue violet. Its muted saturation gives the color a softened, slightly dusty appearance, especially in indirect light, while warmer lighting can bring out more of its raspberry undertone. Use it as a feature wall in a bedroom, dining room, or powder room where its depth can feel intentional rather than overwhelming. Verve Violet pairs well with warm white trim, pale blush accents, charcoal, and natural oak or walnut finishes. On cabinetry or a painted interior door, this shade adds concentrated color against otherwise quiet walls.

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 13.43%, 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.
