How they read
In their own wordsBlackberry SW 7577 is a very dark plum in Sherwin-Williams' red family, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 4.81.
Monet is a dusty, mauve-leaning pink with a beige base — a rose that has softened into something closer to lilac. At LRV 40 it is a real mid-tone, dark enough to feel enveloping in a small room and light enough to keep a powder room from going gloomy.
