Blustery Sky

SW 9140

Blustery Sky (hex #6F848C) is a muted, medium blue with cool gray undertones and low chroma, giving it a subdued, slightly stormy appearance. Its LRV of 22 means it absorbs more light than it reflects, anchoring it as a mid-dark option suited to accent walls, cabinetry, or well-lit rooms. The grayish cast prevents it from appearing overly saturated or bright.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Shoji White offer soft contrast without starkness, while analogous tones like Slate Tile and Moody Blue build tonal depth. Warm earth tones such as taupe help balance the coolness.
