Sherwin Williams

Dried Lavender

SW 9072

Dried Lavender is a cool, muted purple-blue with noticeable gray undertones that temper its violet base, registering an LRV of 29. This mid-tone shade reads as a dusty blue-violet in most lighting conditions and works well in bedrooms or home offices where a subdued cool palette is desired. It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Lullaby, Evening Shadow, Fashionable Gray, and Sensitive White, each of which draws out a different aspect of its gray-purple composition without competing for visual attention.
