Sherwin Williams

Morning Glory

SW 6971

Morning Glory is a cool-toned purple with pronounced blue undertones, registering an LRV of 8, which places it firmly in the deep end of the spectrum. This level of saturation absorbs significant ambient light, making it best suited for accent walls, home offices, or formal dining rooms where controlled drama is appropriate. The blue undertones keep it from reading as overly violet under cooler lighting.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Greek Villa, Tradewind, Anchors Aweigh, and Samovar Silver for balanced contrast.
