Sherwin Williams

Plummy

SW 6558

Plummy is a deep, muted purple from Sherwin-Williams with gray undertones that shift it toward a dusty violet. With an LRV of 11, it absorbs most light in a room and is best reserved for bedrooms, studies, or accent areas where a darker wall treatment is intended. The gray cast prevents it from appearing overly saturated.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Silver Peony and Studio Mauve in a warm analogous grouping, while Pure White or Alabaster provide necessary contrast, and Secret Garden introduces a complementary green.
