Sherwin Williams

Big Chill

SW 7648

Billowy Breeze (#AFC7CD) is a soft, cool blue with gray undertones, registering an LRV of 55 in the mid-tone range. Its low chroma and slight desaturation produce a muted blue-gray appearance, with a hue angle near 193 degrees that keeps it just off true blue. The gray content prevents it from reading as overtly colorful, maintaining a restrained presence on walls.

Sherwin-Williams Drift of Mist and Rhinestone pair well as lighter cool neutrals, while Sea Salt and Rainwashed provide analogous blue-green transitions. Naval serves as a strong dark counterpoint.

Big Chill in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
