Sherwin Williams

Bluebell

SW 6793

Bluebell (hex #A2D5E7) is a cool, light blue with faint green undertones, delivering a clean and open appearance in interiors. Its LRV of 61 allows moderate light diffusion, making it functional in both well-lit and lower-light rooms. The green-leaning blue base keeps it from reading as stark or icy.

Bluebell coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Rainwashed and Sea Salt for tonal continuity, while deeper counterparts like Naval or Urbane Bronze introduce contrast. Neutral companions such as Pure White or Eider White help maintain a fresh, balanced palette.
