Sherwin Williams

Intense Teal

SW 6943

Intense Teal SW 6943 is a vibrant cool blue with a pronounced green undertone that gives it strong chromatic saturation. At an LRV of 14, it functions as a deep accent tone best suited for powder rooms, feature walls, or cabinetry where concentrated color is desired. The low reflectance means it absorbs significant light, so adequate artificial lighting is recommended.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Pearly White, Waterscape, and Caviar for contrast. In south-facing rooms, the blue-green balance reads cleaner, while north light emphasizes the teal depth further.
