Sherwin Williams

Inspired Lilac

SW 6820

Inspired Lilac is a soft cool purple with gray undertones that keep it restrained and closer to a tinted neutral than a saturated violet. With an LRV of 71, it reflects considerable light and suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and ceilings where a gentle color wash is appropriate. The gray base prevents it from appearing juvenile or overly sweet in most lighting conditions.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Passive, Grape Mist, and Lite Lavender for a tonal purple scheme, while Extra White and Repose Gray provide grounding neutral contrast.
