Sherwin Williams

Grays Harbor

SW 6236

Grays Harbor is a cool, desaturated blue-gray with a discernible green undertone that becomes more apparent in natural light. Its LRV of 12 places it firmly in the dark range, best suited for accent walls, exterior siding, or cabinetry where depth is needed. Pairing it with Alabaster or Snowbound on trim creates strong contrast and prevents the color from feeling heavy.

Stardew and Daphne work as lighter mid-tone companions on adjacent walls, while Natural Tan introduces warmth to balance the cool base.
