Sherwin Williams

Argos

SW 7065

Argos by Sherwin-Williams is a cool, silvery gray with green-blue undertones that become more apparent under natural light. At hex #BDBDB7 with an LRV of 51, it offers moderate reflectance that reads neither too dark nor too bright, making it functional in mid-sized rooms and on exterior surfaces alike. Its neutral temperature and subdued character suit contemporary and coastal settings.

Argos coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Extra White and Icicle for a layered, crisp effect, and gains depth when anchored by darker tones such as Sea Serpent or Iron Ore.
