Sherwin Williams

Wallflower

SW 6281

Wallflower is a light, muted purple with cool undertones and subtle gray influence, carrying an LRV of 64. At this relatively high reflectance, it reads as a pale lavender-gray that provides soft color without significantly reducing the perceived brightness of a room. The gray component desaturates the purple base, keeping the overall effect restrained rather than vivid.

It is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and powder rooms where a quiet, low-saturation color is appropriate. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Greek Villa work as trim and ceiling complements, while Vesper Violet, Repose Gray, and Sensitive White offer coordinating tonal options.
