Sherwin Williams

Cooled Blue

SW 6759

Cooled Blue (SW, #75B9AE) is a cool-toned blue carrying noticeable green undertones, with an LRV of 41. At this moderate reflectance level, it reads as a definitive color statement rather than a tinted neutral, and its blue-green character shifts subtly depending on surrounding light temperature. The hue holds enough saturation to function as a primary wall color while remaining visually restrained.

It aligns well with Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt and Rainwashed for an analogous cool scheme. Pairing with Agreeable Gray or Shoji White softens its intensity, and Naval provides a tonal anchor in darker accents.
