Sherwin Williams

Ionian

SW 6754

Ionian is a cool blue-green from Sherwin-Williams with a subtle gray hint that tempers its saturation. At an LRV of 20, it reads as a medium-dark tone that absorbs considerable light, making it well suited for accent walls, powder rooms, or exterior shutters where a grounded yet colorful presence is needed. The gray undertone prevents it from appearing overly tropical.

It coordinates effectively with Oyster Bay SW 6206, Sea Salt SW 6204, Pure White SW 7005, Urbane Bronze SW 7048, and Needlepoint Navy SW 0032.
