Sherwin Williams Passionate Purple SW 6981

Sherwin Williams Passionate Purple SW 6981 is a bold, high-chroma purple with a noticeable magenta cast rather than a gray or smoky undertone. It reads rich and energetic on a wall, somewhere between a ripe plum and a vivid violet, and can look slightly bluer in cool north-facing daylight. In warm evening lighting, its red notes become more apparent, giving the color a fuller berry-like appearance. Use it as a feature wall in a dressing room, creative studio, or powder room, or try it on a painted bookcase or cabinet front for a concentrated hit of color. Crisp warm white trim, light oak, brass hardware, charcoal stone, and deep green accents help ground its intensity.
