Chaise Mauve

SW 6016

Chaise Mauve (hex #C1B2B3) is a soft, muted purple with warm undertones moderated by a noticeable gray cast, giving it a grounded, near-neutral quality. Its LRV of 47 places it squarely in the mid-tone range, providing enough depth for definition without dominating a room. The low saturation and gray influence allow it to function similarly to a warm neutral in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Sherwin-Williams Shoji White and Creamy pair naturally as lighter companions. For deeper contrast, Pewter Green and Iron Ore work well, while soft taupes and dusty rose tones create a layered, analogous palette.
