Sherwin Williams

Wisteria

SW 6822

Wisteria is a mid-toned lavender from Sherwin-Williams with cool blue undertones that keep it from reading as pink or mauve. Its LRV of 48 places it at a moderate reflectance level, meaning it provides noticeable color presence without making a room feel dark. The blue shift gives it a distinctly cool character suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, or reading areas.

It can be coordinated with Sherwin-Williams Misty for a lighter tonal step, Silver Strand for a gray-blue complement, Candid Blue for analogous pairing, and Naval or Iron Ore when a high-contrast accent is needed.
