Sherwin Williams

Icicle

SW 6238

Icicle (SW 7019) is a cool, muted off-white carrying subtle purple undertones that keep it from reading as a stark white. With an LRV of 73, it reflects a good amount of light while maintaining depth on walls. It works well in bathrooms, hallways, and north-facing rooms where a soft coolness is appropriate.

For a cohesive palette, consider pairing it with Misty (SW 6232), Lazy Gray (SW 6254), Sensitive Tint (SW 6267), Aleutian (SW 6241), or Incredible White (SW 7028).
