Sherwin Williams

Stunning Shade

SW 7082

Stunning Shade is a muted purple-gray with subdued violet undertones that lean slightly warm. At an LRV of 12, it is a dark color that absorbs most light, making it better suited for accent walls, smaller rooms intended to feel enclosed, or spaces like reading nooks and bedrooms where lower light levels are acceptable. The gray base keeps the purple restrained rather than saturated.

It can be paired with Sherwin-Williams Passive and Dorian Gray for a tonal gray scheme, or contrasted with lighter options like Alabaster, while Coral Clay and Toasted Pine Nut provide warmer counterpoints.
