Mystical Shade

SW 6276

Mystical Shade is a muted cool purple with gray undertones at an LRV of 40, placing it squarely in the mid-light range. The strong gray base makes it read as a cool neutral with only a faint violet cast, suitable for bedrooms, offices, and transitional hallways. In north-facing light it leans cooler, while south exposure warms the gray slightly.

It coordinates with Passive (SW 7064) on trim, Extra White (SW 7006) for ceiling contrast, Argos (SW 7065) for tonal continuity, and Sensuous Gray (SW 7081) or Fashionable Gray (SW 6275) nearby.
