Sherwin Williams

Bluesy Note

SW 9064

Bluesy Note (hex #7C9AB5) is a cool, muted blue with underlying purple undertones that soften its overall appearance. At an LRV of 31, it occupies a medium-depth position, neither overly light nor dramatically dark. The muted chroma and violet influence give it a slightly dusty quality, distinguishing it from cleaner blues.

Warm neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Shoji White or Creamy highlight its cool base through contrast, while Charcoal Blue and Urban Bronze add darker grounding. Analogous options such as Sea Salt and Enigma extend the subdued, low-saturation tonal range.
