Sherwin Williams

Baby Blue Eyes

SW 9070

Baby Blue Eyes (hex #83A2B4) is a cool blue with gray undertones that moderate its saturation and give it a slightly muted quality. Its LRV of 34 places it on the lower-medium end of the reflectance scale, meaning it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads with noticeable depth on walls. The gray undertone prevents it from skewing too bright or too aquatic, grounding the blue in a more neutral direction.

Sherwin-Williams Greek Villa offers clean contrast, while Naval and Iron Ore work as darker companions. Sea Salt and Silver Peony extend the palette into neighboring cool tones.
