Sherwin Williams

Individual White

SW 6008

Individual White is a soft muted purple with a gray hint that positions it within the warm neutral family despite its violet lean. With an LRV of 62, it reflects a fair amount of light and works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and transitional spaces. The gray component keeps it from reading overtly purple in most lighting conditions.

It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray, Mysterious Mauve, and Repose Gray, while Alabaster and Poised Taupe round out a restrained tonal palette for full-room applications.

Individual White in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
