Sherwin Williams

Cadet

SW 9143

Cadet (hex #91999C) is a cool, muted blue-gray with noticeable gray undertones that desaturate the blue and push it toward a neutral, stormy register. At an LRV of 31, it absorbs more light than it reflects, producing a medium-depth tone that works to create visual weight on walls. The low chroma keeps it restrained and functional as a backdrop, particularly in rooms with ample daylight.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Greek Villa provide clean contrast on trim. Analogous tones like Misty or Samovar Silver build a harmonious cool palette, while earthy greens offer grounding counterpoints.
