Sherwin Williams

Great Falls

SW 6495

Great Falls is a cool, saturated blue with noticeable green undertones that push it toward teal territory. At an LRV of 15, it reads dark and concentrated, lending itself to front doors, accent furniture, powder rooms, and feature walls. Accessible Beige and Pure White offer effective contrast on surrounding trim and ceilings.

Urbane Bronze grounds the palette when used on hardware or fixtures. Tradewind and Rain function as lighter tonal bridges in adjacent spaces, maintaining color continuity without matching intensity.
