Sherwin Williams

Debonair

SW 9139

Debonair (SW 9139, hex #90A0A6) is a soft, muted blue tempered by a gray influence that reduces its saturation and gives it a measured, restrained quality. With an LRV of 34, it falls on the lower side of medium reflectance, absorbing a fair amount of light and reading noticeably darker in rooms with limited natural light. The cool undertones lean slightly slate without turning steely.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Morning Fog and Silvermist in analogous schemes, while warm whites like Alabaster or muted golds such as Whole Wheat provide tonal balance.

Debonair in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
