Sherwin Williams

Angora

SW 6036

Angora (hex #D1C5BE) is a soft purple-gray with warm pinkish-lavender and beige undertones that ground its subtle chroma. At an LRV of 57, it sits in the mid-brightness range, reflecting enough light to keep a room open while retaining sufficient depth to register as more than an off-white. Despite falling in the purple family, it reads warm due to its beige-gray base, preventing it from skewing overtly violet.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White or Egret White for lighter contrast, Svelte Sage for a green complement, and Retreat for deeper tonal anchoring.
