What color is Sherwin Williams Vigorous Violet?
Sherwin Williams Vigorous Violet SW 6838 is a muted mid-tone violet with a soft gray cast that keeps its purple presence grounded. The color leans slightly cool, reading as a dusty plum-violet rather than a bright, electric purple. In strong daylight, its violet character is clearer, while lower or warmer light can bring out its subdued, shadowy depth. It makes a confident choice for an accent wall, a powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a deeper color can define the architecture. Pair Vigorous Violet with warm white trim, pale mushroom neutrals, brushed brass, or natural oak to give the purple a clean, considered backdrop.

LRV of Vigorous Violet
Vigorous Violet has an LRV of 13.12% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.12%, 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.
