Sherwin Williams

Commodore

SW 6524

Commodore by Sherwin-Williams is a deep blue with a distinct purple undertone, appearing at hex #25476A. Its LRV of 6 places it firmly in the dark range, meaning it absorbs the vast majority of light and reads as a rich, saturated navy-leaning tone. The violet shift distinguishes it from a straightforward navy and gives it additional visual complexity.

It pairs naturally with cooler neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Passive and Misty, and gains sharp definition when set against Extra White. For grounding warmth in the same palette, Shiitake offers an earthy counterpoint that offsets Commodore's cool depth.
