The Last Word: Dallas Wings’ Paige Bueckers Featured in Sherwin-Williams ‘Loneliest Color’ Campaign
by David Seeley | May 22, 2025
Paige Bueckers has been in great demand since being drafted No. 1 overall in the 2025 WNBA draft by the Dallas Wings. Sadly, Sherwin-Williams' Radiant Lilac SW 0074 hasn't been much in demand at all. In fact, it's the brand's least popular color, with the fewest gallons created in 2024. Now, in an innovative marketing spin, AT&T is promoting Radiant Lilac as its "The Loneliest Color"—and hoping Bueckers will make it as hot as her shooting hand.
