Sherwin Williams

Magical

SW 6829

SW 6455 Magical is a delicate purple with gray undertones and an LRV of 46, positioning it as a mid-light tone that reads soft without appearing washed out. The gray influence tempers the violet, keeping it from feeling overly saturated. It functions well in bedrooms, nurseries, and sitting rooms.

Pair it with Pure White SW 7005 or Extra White SW 7006 on trim for clean definition. Complementary Sherwin-Williams colors include Enchant SW 6555, Fashionable Gray SW 6275, and Lite Lavender SW 6554. Worldly Gray SW 7043 works in adjacent areas.
