Sherwin Williams

Aviary Blue

SW 6778

Aviary Blue (hex #C6E3E8) is a soft, cool blue with a subtle green undertone and an LRV of 73, making it highly reflective and light-filled on walls. Its tint level is high enough that it reads close to a pastel in well-lit conditions, while the green inflection gives it a slight aqua lean. The cool temperature does not shift substantially between natural and artificial light.

Cool neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Snowbound or First Star pair cleanly alongside it, while Naval or Silverplate provide value contrast. Analogous options such as Sea Salt and Window Pane extend its aqua-blue range.
