In real rooms
Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersMulberry Silk is the lighter of the two at LRV 20.43, 0.4 points above Socialite at LRV 20. Both read warm. Socialite is a purple, Mulberry Silk a red. For a whole room, Mulberry Silk is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Socialite is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsSocialite is a muted, dusty rose built on a brown base — close enough to mauve to feel romantic, grounded enough to never read as pink. With a low LRV near 20 it brings real depth, the kind of moody, grayed red that makes a dining room or powder room feel considered.
Mulberry Silk SW 0001 is a muted mauve-brown in Sherwin-Williams' Historic Color family, with an LRV of 20.43.
