Sherwin Williams

Arrowroote

SW 9502

Wythe Blue (HC-143) is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, carrying hex value #AABEB4 and an LRV of 48.11, which places it at a medium brightness that keeps rooms open without losing depth. The blue leans slightly toward green, giving it a quiet, historical character well suited to traditional or coastal interiors, while the gray undertone tempers the saturation enough for use on both walls and cabinetry. Pairing it with warm off-whites such as White Dove or Swiss Coffee draws out the green shift, and deeper companions like Kendall Charcoal or Saybrook Sage build a grounded, tonal palette.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
