Sherwin Williams

Agua Fría

SW 9053

Agua Fria (SW, #9FC5CC) is a cool blue with green undertones, registering an LRV of 52. At this mid-range reflectance, it reads as a balanced, moderate-brightness tone that neither dominates nor recedes in a room. The green shift in its base gives it an aqua quality, distinguishing it from straight blues.

Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt and Rainwashed share its blue-green family and coordinate well tonally. Iceberg and Misty align as lighter analogous options. For depth, Smoky Blue or Naval provide strong contrast while reinforcing the cool color direction.
