In a bold celebration of self-expression and individuality, Sherwin-Williams has unveiled its “Loneliest Color™ 2025”: Radiant Lilac SW 0074. And who better to debut this overlooked but radiant hue than basketball phenom and fashion trendsetter Paige Bueckers? The Dallas Wings rookie and #1 WNBA draft pick teamed up with Harlem’s legendary couturier Dapper Dan to rock a one-of-a-kind tracksuit in Radiant Lilac for her professional tunnel debut—right in her hometown of Minneapolis.
This marks the second year Sherwin-Williams has turned its least-tinted colour into its boldest conversation starter. While fewer than 1,000 gallons of Radiant Lilac were tinted last year, the shade—now brought to life through design, fashion and sport—is ready to be seen, heard, and worn.
“Color is about making fearless decisions,” says Sherwin-Williams Director of Color Marketing, Sue Wadden. “The Loneliest Color™ celebrates the unique and daring shades often passed over, reminding us there’s beauty in the unexpected.”
Bueckers, who’s never shied away from standing out both on and off the court, was a natural fit. “When it comes to how I express myself, I always stay true to me,” she said. “I love Radiant Lilac for the quiet confidence it conveys.” Styled by Dapper Dan, her debut look featured western detailing on the drawstrings and pant legs—a nod to her new Dallas roots—with muted purples and ivory tones that elevated classic streetwear into something iconic.
“It was an honour being part of this campaign again,” said Dapper Dan. “Paige is already breaking barriers in women’s sports. Our look celebrates that confidence and encourages others to show up unapologetically.”
Bueckers’ style moment isn’t the only way to bring Radiant Lilac into your life. Sherwin-Williams is encouraging homeowners and designers to rediscover its creative potential—from accent walls to bold cabinetry. “Radiant Lilac is daring yet versatile,” adds Wadden. “It pairs beautifully with layered textures and pops against neutral palettes.”
To celebrate the launch, fans can order a complimentary Radiant Lilac color chip or Peel & Stick sample from tlc.sherwin.com, and enter for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Dallas—including tickets to a women’s basketball game. The sweepstakes is open until June 30, 2025.
Whether you’re refreshing your living room or rethinking your style, Sherwin-Williams’ Loneliest Color™ campaign is a reminder that some of the most powerful statements come from the shades we almost overlook. Radiant Lilac is here—and ready to inspire confidence, creativity, and connection. —Vita Daily
