Sherwin Williams

Fashionable Gray

SW 6275

Fashionable Gray is a cool-toned gray from Sherwin-Williams with subtle purple undertones that distinguish it from warmer greige options. Its LRV of 48 places it at a comfortable mid-range, reflecting enough light for bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways while still reading definitively as gray. It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray, Passive, Eider White, Grayish, and Grape Harvest, creating cohesive cool-toned schemes.

The purple undertone is most noticeable in rooms with abundant natural light, while incandescent lighting can mute it toward a more straightforward gray.
