Sherwin Williams

Gris Morado

SW 9156

Gris Morado is a cool muted purple with gray undertones, registering an LRV of 26. It reads as a dusty, restrained violet-gray rather than a saturated purple, making it workable for bedrooms, bathrooms, and transitional spaces without overwhelming the palette. The gray influence tempers the violet and keeps the color grounded under both warm and cool lighting.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray, Pure White, Agreeable Gray, and Alabaster, while Sensuous Gray provides a tonal neutral complement.
