Magical
There is more to Sherwin-Williams Magical (6829) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its brighter saturation keeps the hue present and expressive, even when the overall color is pale. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
