Sherwin Williams

Gulfstream

SW 6768

Gulfstream SW 6768 is a vibrant cool blue with distinct green undertones, placing it firmly in the teal family. At an LRV of 18, it presents as a moderately dark shade suitable for powder rooms, front doors, or accent furniture. The blue-green balance reads clean without appearing overly saturated in natural light.

It coordinates well with Alabaster SW 7008 as a crisp trim contrast, and Rainwashed SW 6211 offers a lighter tonal companion. Pairing with Waterscape SW 6470, Reflecting Pool SW 6486, or Oyster Bay SW 6206 creates a cohesive coastal-adjacent scheme with layered depth.
