Sherwin Williams

Poetry Plum

SW 6019

Poetry Plum is a dark, muted color from Sherwin-Williams that blends purple and brown with noticeable gray undertones, producing a dusty mauve-brown reading on the wall. Its LRV of 12 means it reflects very little light and will appear deep and subdued in most environments. This color suits bedrooms, hallways, or rooms where a darker wall color is desired, and it shifts between warm and cool depending on the light source.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Agreeable Gray offer lighter pairings, while Secret Garden and Naval serve as deeper accents, and Anjou Pear adds warmth.
