Cloudless

SW 6786

Cloudless (SW, #8FD0DD) is a clean, mid-brightness blue with cool undertones that lean slightly toward aqua. At an LRV of 56, it reflects a moderate amount of light, keeping rooms open without washing out. The hue sits squarely in the cool spectrum with no warm shift, making it straightforward to coordinate with other blues and neutrals.

Extra White provides crisp contrast, while Sea Salt offers a softer tonal pairing. Deeper options like Naval or Pewter Green supply weight, and Opaline works as a lighter analogous companion.
