Sherwin Williams

Aquastone

SW 9043

Aquastone from Sherwin-Williams is a cool, mid-tone blend of blue and green at hex #89C6B7, with balanced undertones that lean neither strongly blue nor strongly green. Its LRV of 49 places it at the midpoint of light reflectance, providing enough brightness to feel open without washing out. The hue functions as a muted teal that works in coastal and minimalist contexts.

It pairs cohesively with similarly toned shades like Misty and Rainwashed for a tonal scheme, while deeper blues such as Naval or rich greens like Hunt Club create directional contrast. Neutrals like Pure White or Shoji White keep the palette grounded.
