Sherwin Williams

Iceberg

SW 6798

Iceberg is a cool light blue with gray undertones and an LRV of 76. At this high reflectance level, it reads as a pale blue-gray that maintains noticeable color without overwhelming a room. It works well in bathrooms, coastal-themed interiors, and bedrooms oriented toward natural daylight.

The gray undertone prevents it from reading overly saturated. Strong pairings from Sherwin-Williams include Rainwashed, Extra White, Serious Gray, Niebla Azul, and Granite Peak, supporting cool-toned schemes with effective value range.
