Sherwin Williams

Aqueduct

SW 6758

Aqueduct from Sherwin-Williams is a mid-tone blue with subtle green undertones, represented by hex #A1D5CB. At an LRV of 59, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, giving it a fresh, open quality on walls and trim. The green shift softens what would otherwise be a straightforward blue, creating a hue that reads as a light teal in most lighting conditions.

It coordinates naturally with related Sherwin-Williams shades like Sea Salt and Tradewind for a tonal grouping, while deeper options such as Naval or Cyberspace supply contrast. Clean whites like Alabaster or Pure White highlight its cool undertones without competing.
