Sherwin Williams

Rhapsody Lilac

SW 6828

Sherwin-Williams Rhapsody Lilac is a light purple with cool blue-violet undertones that place it in the lavender family. At an LRV of 60, it reflects moderate-to-high light and reads as a soft, pastel-range color that works on bedroom walls, bathroom vanities, and ceilings. Its cool temperature means it can read slightly grayer in north-facing rooms and more distinctly purple in south-facing light.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Pure White for clean trim contrast, Enigma as a deeper tonal purple step, Repose Gray for a cool neutral companion, Snowbound as a softer white trim, and Naval for a strong dark accent.
