Sherwin Williams

Kismet

SW 6830

Kismet is a cool purple with distinctly cool undertones and an LRV of 29, positioning it in the lower-medium reflectance range. It reads as a mid-tone lavender-violet with enough gray to prevent it from appearing overly saturated. This balance makes it functional in bedrooms, sitting areas, or hallways where moderate color without heaviness is appropriate.

Under warm lighting it may shift slightly toward mauve. Coordinate it with Sherwin-Williams Extra White for trim contrast, and pair with Ash Violet, Potentially Purple, Grape Harvest, and Beguiling Mauve for a tonal purple palette.
