Agapanthus

SW 9066

Agapanthus (SW, #BBC5DE) is a cool-toned periwinkle that blends blue and lavender undertones, with an LRV of 56. This moderate reflectance produces a light-to-mid value that reads as airy without becoming washed out. The lavender shift distinguishes it from pure blues, adding a slight violet warmth to its otherwise cool profile.

It works well alongside Sherwin-Williams Tradewind and Passive in a coordinated cool palette. Deeper tones like Naval or Iron Ore provide strong value contrast and draw out the lavender character. Alabaster and Rhinestone serve as clean, neutral trim options.
