Sherwin Williams

Midnight

SW 6264

Midnight is a deep muted purple with cool undertones and an LRV of 10, placing it firmly in the dark end of the reflectance scale. The gray-violet base prevents it from reading overtly purple in most lighting conditions, instead presenting as a sophisticated near-neutral dark tone. It works in dining rooms, accent walls, and powder rooms where low light reflectance is acceptable.

Pair it with Pure White (SW 7005) for contrast, or layer it alongside Mindful Gray (SW 7016), Silverpointe (SW 7653), Gossamer Veil (SW 9165), and Origami White (SW 7636).
