Sherwin Williams

Berry Cream

SW 9075

Berry Frappe (#B3A1C6) is a light purple with gray undertones and an LRV of 39, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. The gray base desaturates the violet, producing a muted, low-chroma tone that reads as a cool lavender-gray on walls. It maintains enough color to register distinctly as purple in most lighting conditions.

Sherwin-Williams White Heron and Repose Gray complement it as neutral supports, while Debonair and Temperate Taupe offer analogous transitions. For deeper contrast, Naval provides a strong anchor within the same brand palette.

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.
