Sherwin Williams

Rain Cloud

SW 9639

Wood Violet is a deep-value color that merges navy and violet pigments, registering an LRV of 9.82. The hex value #504C5B indicates a closely balanced blue-purple composition with cool undertones that read more violet under warm light and more navy under cool daylight. Its low reflectance makes it function almost as a dark neutral in dimly lit spaces.

Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Chantilly Lace supply the high-value contrast needed to prevent visual heaviness, while Deep Royal and Grape Juice serve as analogous companions that reinforce the blue-violet range without introducing competing hues.
