Sherwin Williams

Autumn Orchid

SW 9157

Autumn Orchid (hex #9D9093) is a muted purple with balanced gray undertones, registering an LRV of 29 that keeps it on the darker side of mid-tones. Its chroma is deliberately low, leaning toward mauve while remaining grounded enough to function alongside standard neutrals. The cool temperature reads consistently under both natural and artificial light.

Soft neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Crushed Ice or Site White emphasize its undertone without competing, while analogous shades such as Sensitive Tint or Veiled Violet build a layered purple-gray palette. Complementary greens like Rosemary or Acacia Haze provide natural contrast.
