Sherwin Williams

Cay

SW 6772

Cay by Sherwin-Williams is a cool-toned blue (#A6D0D6) with noticeable green undertones, giving it an aquatic, coastal quality. Its LRV of 58 places it in the mid-light range, reflecting a moderate amount of light that works in both well-lit and lower-light rooms. The green shift in its blue base keeps it from reading as purely sky-toned, pushing it toward a teal-adjacent family.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Tradewind and Sea Salt in analogous blue-green groupings, while Shoji White or Creamy provide warmer neutral contrast. Naval can anchor it as a deeper accent.
