Sherwin Williams

Daybreak

SW 6700

Daydream (hex #BDC3CD) is a cool, soft purple with blue undertones that move it toward a lavender-gray reading rather than a distinct violet. At an LRV of 54, it occupies the mid-light range, reflecting enough light to keep a room open while maintaining a discernible color presence. The blue shift in its composition gives it a cooler temperature than many purple-family colors.

Sherwin-Williams Morning Fog and Rainwashed coordinate within the same cool-toned family, while Naval provides saturated dark contrast. North Star and Icicle extend the soft, cool palette in lighter values.

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.
