Sherwin Williams

Obi Lilac

SW 6556

Obi Lilac is a cool-toned purple with muted undertones and an LRV of 39, placing it in the mid-range where it delivers discernible color while maintaining a restrained presence. The muted quality keeps it from reading as saturated or juvenile, making it functional in bedrooms, sitting rooms, or transitional spaces. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Eider White, Sensuous Gray, Beguiling Mauve, Ash Violet, and Grape Harvest for layered cool-toned palettes.

In north-facing rooms, the cool purple character intensifies, while warm light softens it toward a gentle gray-lavender reading.
