About Radiant Lilac
Based on information from Sherwin-Williams, Radiant Lilac stands out as the least tinted shade for the year 2024, indicating it was produced in smaller quantities compared to others. The firm typically colors millions of gallons annually; however, only fewer than 1,000 gallons of Radiant Lilac were manufactured last year.
The hue is a rich purple that exudes both classic and contemporary vibes. According to Sherwin-Williams, it pairs well with multiple shades.

She also recommends using it in intentional doses: in accent walls, painted furniture, or decorative textiles like pillows, rugs, and curtains.
Sherwin-Williams Is Celebrating Other Overlooked Details
Currently in the limelight, the WNBA remains somewhat underappreciated—a fact highlighted by Sherwin-Williams partnering with renowned WNBA player Paige Bueckers to convey this sentiment. As the first-round pick for 2025, she will showcase the new color to embody the idea of pursuing personal fit rather than merely following trends.
When expressing myself, I remain authentic to who I am,” Bueckers stated in the release. “I’m drawn to The Loneliest Color 2025 Radiant Lilac because of the subtle assurance it exudes.” She continued, “With my collaboration with Sherwin-Williams, my aim is to motivate individuals to discover their own source of confidence—whether it be via clothing, athletics, or even the color of their walls.
Bueckers recently wore a custom lilac tracksuit by Dap for her hometown debut tunnel walk before her game in Minneapolis.
