Sherwin Williams

Aquarium

SW 6767

Aquarium from Sherwin-Williams is a saturated blue-green with distinctly cool undertones, represented by hex #3AA9AE. At an LRV of 32, it sits in the lower-mid brightness range, providing noticeable depth while still reading as a clear, vivid color rather than a dark one. Its teal character leans slightly more blue than green, giving it a crisp, aquatic quality suited to contemporary and coastal-influenced spaces.

Pairing it with crisp whites like Pure White or Snowbound keeps the palette clean, while deeper companions such as Naval or Charcoal Blue add layered contrast. Analogous options like Aloe soften the overall scheme.
