Sherwin Williams

Dewberry

SW 6552

Dewberry is a deep, cool purple with noticeable blue undertones that push it toward a dusky violet range. At an LRV of 5, it absorbs nearly all light and reads very dark, making it most practical for accent walls, small powder rooms, or exterior accents rather than full-room applications. Adequate artificial or natural lighting is essential when using this shade on larger surfaces.

Dewberry works well with Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray, Snowbound, and Pure White as brightening contrasts, while Quixotic Plum and Mature Grape offer analogous layering options.
