Blackberry vs Kimono Violet

Blackberry and Kimono Violet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Blackberry belongs to the pink family and Kimono Violet to the pink-purple family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 5 vs 6 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Blackberry vs Kimono Violet in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Blackberry and Kimono Violet in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Mudroom

In a hardworking space like a mudroom, the depth and warmth of a color reads differently than in a quieter room. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
