Breezy

SW 7616

Breezy (SW, hex #A0AEAF) is a slate blue with cool gray undertones and an LRV of 41, positioning it as a midtone that reflects a moderate amount of light. The blue-gray composition carries a slight green-gray edge in certain lighting. It works well alongside other Sherwin-Williams colors including Repose Gray, Snowbound, Naval, Accessible Beige, and Agreeable Gray.

Repose Gray and Snowbound support its cool foundation, while Accessible Beige and Agreeable Gray introduce warmth for balance. Naval provides a deeper blue accent for contrast in trim or cabinetry applications.
