Sherwin Williams

Izmir Purple

SW 6825

Izmir Purple is a deep rich purple from Sherwin-Williams with cool undertones that lean toward a blue-violet range. Its LRV of 7 places it firmly in the dark value category, absorbing most ambient light and requiring adequate artificial or natural illumination to read as purple rather than near-black. It works in powder rooms, accent walls, home offices, and exterior doors where a distinctive dark color is desired.

Pair it with Extra White SW 7006, Passive SW 7064, Silverplate SW 7649, Expressive Plum SW 6271, and Aleutian SW 6241.
