Sherwin Williams

Baroness

SW 6837

Baroness from Sherwin-Williams is a mid-tone purple that balances warm and cool undertones, allowing it to shift subtly depending on surrounding light. With an LRV of 28, it absorbs more light than it reflects, producing a rich, saturated presence on walls and accents. The hex #A785A7 confirms a dusty mauve-violet character rather than a bright or primary purple.

Pairing it with the soft blue-gray of Misty creates an analogous scheme, while Accessible Beige offers a warm neutral counterpoint. Bolder combinations with Naval or Gold Coast introduce contrast and draw out the color's cooler violet side.
