Sherwin Williams

Sensitive Tint

SW 6267

Sensitive Tint is a light, muted purple-gray with cool lavender undertones that read as a tinted neutral in most lighting conditions. Its LRV of 59 means it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, keeping rooms from feeling closed in. This color is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a soft neutral with a slight color shift is desired.

It pairs consistently with Sherwin-Williams Eider White and Repose Gray as supporting neutrals, and works alongside Silver Peony, Fashionable Gray, and Grape Mist in tonal purple-gray arrangements.
