Sherwin Williams

Atmospheric

SW 6505

Atmospheric (hex #C2DAE0) is a cool, pale blue with gray undertones that sits at an LRV of 67, reflecting a substantial amount of light and helping interiors feel open and spacious. Its hue leans decidedly cool, diffusing both natural and artificial light evenly across wall surfaces. Layering it with analogous tones like Sherwin-Williams North Star or Billowy Breeze builds a cohesive tonal range, while warm whites such as Alabaster offset its coolness.

Accents in Naval or Perfect Greige introduce depth and tonal contrast against this light blue backdrop.
