Sherwin Williams

Jacaranda

SW 6802

Sherwin-Williams Jacaranda is a cool blue with green undertones that registers an LRV of 30, placing it in the medium-reflectance range suitable for accent walls or bedrooms where controlled light absorption is acceptable. The green shift in its base keeps it from reading as a pure primary blue, lending a slightly aquatic quality on surfaces. It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for trim contrast, while Silverpointe, Rainwashed, Naval, and Agreeable Gray provide layered tonal options in shared living spaces or bathrooms.
