Purple is the most under-used wall color in American interiors — and that's exactly why it lands when it does. The family splits cleanly: pale lavenders (LRV 70+) read like a soft cool gray with the lights on, and become unmistakably purple at golden hour; mid-tone lilacs work on accent walls in bedrooms; deep plums and aubergines (LRV under 15) anchor moody dining rooms and libraries.
The most-spec'd purple from Sherwin-Williams — the one that anchors most designer roundups in this family.
