Sherwin Williams

Grand Canal

SW 6488

Grand Canal SW 9185 is a deep muted blue with green undertones and an LRV of 16, making it a low-reflectance color that absorbs significant light. It functions as a strong statement color for accent walls, cabinetry, front doors, and powder rooms with adequate lighting. Alabaster and Agreeable Gray offer necessary brightness contrast on trim and adjacent surfaces.

Naval shares its blue family but reads darker and less green. Tricorn Black can define edges without competing, while Restful and Sea Salt provide lighter blue-green transitions in connected spaces.
