SW 6009

Imagine (SW 6009) is a soft, muted purple with prominent gray undertones that pull it into neutral territory. With an LRV of 48, it occupies a comfortable mid-tone range, neither too light nor too dark for most interior walls. It reads as a warm greyed mauve and works in bedrooms, sitting rooms, and transitional spaces.

Coordinate it with Agreeable Gray (SW 7029), Sensitive Tint (SW 6267), Alabaster (SW 7008), Grape Harvest (SW 6285), and Proper Gray (SW 6003) for a balanced palette.
