Sherwin Williams

Freshwater

SW 6774

Freshwater is a cool blue with noticeable green undertones, giving it a teal-leaning character on the wall. At an LRV of 32, it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads most accurately in rooms with ample natural illumination. It works well in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and accent walls.

For trim and ceiling pairing, Nebulous White provides clean contrast, while Silver Strand offers a lighter tonal bridge. Naval can serve as a deeper accent, Peppercorn grounds the palette on doors or hardware, and Sea Salt functions as a softer companion in adjoining rooms.
