Sherwin Williams

Dustblu

SW 9161

Dustblu is a soft blue-gray with cool undertones, registering an LRV of 32. It occupies the mid-tone range and reads as a muted, slightly steely blue under daylight, shifting toward a flatter gray in low light. This makes it a practical choice for bedrooms, hallways, or transitional spaces where a quiet cool tone is needed.

Dustblu pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Rhinestone, Olympus White, Lazy Gray, and Extra White, all of which reinforce its cool orientation while providing the lighter values needed for trim and ceilings.
