Sherwin Williams

Ash Violet

SW 6549

Ash Violet by Sherwin-Williams is a soft, muted purple with cool undertones at hex #A29BAA and an LRV of 34. This moderate reflectance allows it to introduce color without dominating, reading as a quiet, desaturated violet under most lighting conditions. Its gray component keeps the purple restrained, preventing it from appearing overly saturated.

Ash Violet coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray and Smoky Blue for a cool-toned layered palette, while warm neutrals like Accessible Beige highlight its subtle purple cast, and pairing with Pure White or Alabaster provides clean, high-contrast framing.
