Sherwin Williams

Ebbtide

SW 6493

Ebbtide is a cool blue with subtle green undertones and an LRV of 41, giving it a moderate level of light reflectance that reads clearly without excessive darkness. The green shift keeps it from appearing purely blue, lending a teal-adjacent quality visible under both natural and artificial light. It works effectively in bathrooms, sunrooms, or coastal-styled spaces where blue-green tones are contextually appropriate.

Ebbtide pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Pure White, Snowbound, Sea Salt, and Rainwashed, supporting cool, water-toned palettes with sufficient contrast.
