Sherwin Williams

Icy

SW 6534

Icy (SW 6534) is a cool, muted purple with distinct blue undertones that give it a quiet, composed appearance on walls. At an LRV of 56, it sits in the mid-light range, reflecting enough light to keep spaces from feeling closed in while still providing noticeable color. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and living areas with ample natural light.

Pair it with Misty (SW 6232), Lazy Gray (SW 6254), Extra White (SW 7006), Jubilee (SW 6248), or Morning Fog (SW 6255) for a coordinated scheme.
