Sherwin Williams

Daydream

SW 6541

Daydream (hex #BDC3CD) is a cool, soft purple-leaning gray with noticeable blue undertones that keep it firmly on the cooler side of the neutral spectrum. At an LRV of 54, it sits in the mid-range for light reflectance, providing moderate brightness without washing out a room. The gray base is tempered by its subtle violet-blue shift, which distinguishes it from standard cool grays.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Morning Fog, Rainwashed, and North Star for tonal continuity, while deeper options like Naval or Warm Stone supply grounding contrast.
