Sherwin Williams

Green Bay

SW 6481

Green Bay is a deep, cool teal driven by both blue and green undertones, giving it a concentrated, saturated appearance. With an LRV of 11, it falls into the dark range and is best applied to accent walls, cabinetry, exterior doors, or powder room interiors where its depth can be fully appreciated. Pairing with Alabaster or Shoji White on trim and ceilings is essential to provide relief and prevent the color from overwhelming smaller spaces.

It reads slightly bluer in low light and greener in daylight.
