Sherwin Williams

Byte Blue

SW 6498

Byte Blue (hex #C5DCE0) is a cool, light blue with gray undertones that reduce its saturation and keep it from reading as overtly colorful. An LRV of 68 places it in the high-reflectance range, contributing brightness while maintaining a distinctly blue cast. The gray component prevents it from appearing chalky or washed out.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray and Repose Gray for a unified cool-neutral scheme. Deeper blues such as Naval or Charcoal Blue supply contrast and depth, while lighter companions like First Star or Windy Blue extend the tonal range softly.
