Sherwin Williams

Frosted Fern

SW 9648

Wishing Well (Benjamin Moore, #CBB7D0) is a soft purple with clear lavender undertones that give it a cool, slightly pink-violet cast. At an LRV of 51.35, it falls near the mid-range of light reflectance, producing a moderate brightness that avoids reading as either washed out or heavy. The color has a muted, dusty quality rather than a saturated one, which tempers its purple character.

It coordinates with Lavender Mist for an analogous pairing and with Chantilly Lace or Simply White for clean contrast. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal serve as deeper anchoring accents.
