Sherwin Williams

Georgian Bay

SW 6509

Georgian Bay is a cool deep blue with green undertones, landing at an LRV of 11, which places it firmly in the dark range. It functions well on front doors, accent walls, cabinetry, and exterior shutters where a saturated yet sophisticated depth is required. Frosty White and Silver Strand on trim create strong contrast that defines architectural details.

Retreat offers a green-blue companion for coordinated exterior schemes, while Tricorn Black reinforces depth on hardware, railings, or window mullions. Its green undertone prevents it from reading purely navy under daylight.
