Sherwin Williams

Naturel

SW 7542

Wizard is a darkened blue-violet with an LRV of 8.44, placing it firmly in the deep end of the value scale and limiting its light reflectance considerably. Its cool blue undertones give the pigment a recessive quality on walls, allowing surrounding architectural details to advance visually. The blue-violet base reads slightly more blue under cooler light sources and shifts toward purple under warm incandescent lighting.

For contrast, pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or White Dove, for tonal cohesion, consider Amethyst Shadow, Grape Juice, or Hunter Green to build a layered, low-value palette.

Naturel 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.
