Sherwin Williams

Majestic Purple

SW 6545

SW 4004 Majestic Purple is a deep cool purple with blue undertones and an LRV of 5, placing it among the darkest available shades. Its strong blue influence pushes it toward a midnight-indigo reading rather than a warm plum. This intensity is best applied to accent walls, powder rooms, or ceiling treatments where dramatic depth is the goal.

Use Pure White SW 7005 or High Reflective White SW 7757 for necessary trim contrast. It coordinates with Samovar Silver SW 6233, Jubilee SW 6248, and Potentially Purple SW 6821.
