Hyacinth Tint

SW 6968

Hyacinth Tint is a cool purple with a blue undertone, carrying an LRV of 60. This medium-light lavender-blue reads as a soft pastel that retains enough color saturation to register clearly on walls. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and transitional hallways where a cool palette is desired.

Under warm artificial light, the purple cast may soften slightly. Coordinate with Sherwin-Williams Daydream, Breathtaking, Naval, Grape Mist, and Extra White to build a cohesive cool-toned scheme with appropriate value contrast.
