Sherwin Williams

Mesmerize

SW 6544

Mesmerize is a deep purple with a blue undertone, registering an LRV of 13 that classifies it as a low-reflectance color. The blue undertone shifts it away from a warm violet into a cooler, slate-inflected purple range, giving it a distinctly moody depth. It works as an accent wall color, in home offices, or on cabinetry where deep saturated tones are desired.

Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Agreeable Gray, Mineral Gray, and Samovar Silver coordinate well against it. Adequate lighting is essential given its low reflectance, and satin or semi-gloss sheens will help retain surface definition.

Mesmerize in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
