SW 6017

Intuitive SW 7110 is a soft muted purple with gray undertones that keep it firmly in neutral territory. With an LRV of 38, it occupies the mid-tone range and functions well in bedrooms, dressing rooms, and hallways where a subtle color shift from standard gray is desired. The purple cast is restrained enough to avoid reading overtly violet in most lighting conditions.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Eider White, Mink, Beguiling Mauve, and Cyberspace. North-facing light tends to cool the purple further, while warm light pulls it toward a soft mauve-gray.
