What color is Sherwin Williams Wallflower?
Sherwin Williams Wallflower SW 6281 is a light, muted lavender-gray with a soft dusty pink cast. Its low saturation keeps it quiet on the wall, giving bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms a gently colored alternative to off-white. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Wallflower can lean a little rosier, while cooler light brings out its gray-violet side. Pair it with creamy whites, pale greige trim, weathered oak, and brushed nickel for a restrained, layered look. This shade is especially well suited to full walls or cabinetry where its subtle color can be appreciated up close.

LRV of Wallflower
Wallflower has an LRV of 64.48% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 64.48%, 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.
