Sherwin Williams

In the Navy

SW 9178

In the Navy (SW 9178) is a deep navy blue with gray undertones that temper its saturation and keep it grounded. At an LRV of 4, it absorbs nearly all light, making it a strong candidate for accent walls, cabinetry, front doors, and exterior shutters. Adequate lighting is essential when using it on full rooms.

It coordinates effectively with Extra White (SW 7006), Alabaster (SW 7008), Pure White (SW 7005), Uncertain Gray (SW 6234), and Anchors Aweigh (SW 9179).
