Sherwin Williams

Breathtaking

SW 6814

Breathtaking (#C7D1E2) is a light purple-blue with clear blue undertones, sitting at an LRV of 63. That reflectance level allows it to brighten a room noticeably while still delivering a distinct wash of color, unlike near-white pastels that lose their identity in strong light. Its cool temperature and low saturation make it a practical option for bedrooms and living areas in modern or transitional schemes.

Sherwin-Williams Upward and Sleepy Blue offer close analogous pairings. Pure White or Agreeable Gray serve as neutral companions, while Naval provides a high-contrast dark accent.
