Sherwin Williams

Fountain

SW 6787

Fountain is a cool blue with green undertones that give it a distinctly aquatic, teal-leaning character. At an LRV of 39, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads clearly without overwhelming a space, working well in bathrooms, sunrooms, or coastal-influenced interiors. The green shift is most visible under natural daylight.

It coordinates with Pure White and Nebulous White for clean trim pairings, Naval for a deeper blue accent, Sealskin for warm grounding contrast, and Aloe or Tradewind for analogous color transitions.
