Hush White

SW 6042

Hush White is a soft muted purple with gray undertones, carrying an LRV of 72. This light neutral reads as a warm off-white with a faint lavender cast that becomes more apparent in cooler lighting conditions. It works well in bedrooms and living rooms where a quiet backdrop is needed.

For coordinated schemes, consider pairing with Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray, Mystical Shade, Beguiling Mauve, Alabaster, or Fashionable Gray to maintain tonal consistency across adjoining spaces.
