Sherwin Williams

Elation

SW 6827

Elation is a pale tinted white with cool gray-violet undertones, posting an LRV of 72. Its lavender cast is subtle enough for full-room use while still distinguishing it from standard cool whites. It reads as a faintly purple-tinged neutral in daylight and shifts toward gray under incandescent light.

Suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, and lighter living spaces, it pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Sensitive Tint, Destiny, Grape Mist, and Passive, which share its cool undertone family.
