Sherwin Williams

Favorite Jeans

SW 9147

Favorite Jeans is a soft, cool-toned blue from Sherwin-Williams with muted gray undertones that keep it from reading too bright or saturated. At an LRV of 35, it absorbs a moderate amount of light, giving it enough depth for bedrooms, bathrooms, or home offices without feeling dark. It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Agreeable Gray, Krypton, Uncertain Gray, and Sleepy Blue, supporting cool-leaning palettes that remain grounded.

The gray undertone helps it function as a transitional color between stronger blues and lighter neutrals.

Favorite Jeans in Different Light
