Sherwin Williams

Fully Purple

SW 6983

Fully Purple is a deep purple with cool undertones, registering an LRV of 8 and absorbing significant ambient light. This places it in the dramatic end of the spectrum, best suited for accent walls, powder rooms, home offices, or built-in cabinetry rather than full-room application in small spaces. The cool bias keeps it from reading as warm plum, leaning instead toward a dusty violet-indigo range.

Icicle and Extra White provide high-contrast trim options, Misty offers a softer complementary neutral, and Goldenrod introduces a warm metallic-toned accent for balanced color temperature.
