Sherwin Williams

Jamaica Bay

SW 6781

Sherwin-Williams Jamaica Bay is a vibrant blue with cool undertones and an LRV of 30, giving it enough depth to serve as a strong accent while remaining within a medium-value range. The cool base keeps it from drifting toward teal, reading instead as a clean, saturated blue-cyan on walls. It is well suited for bathrooms, children's rooms, or exterior shutters.

Jamaica Bay coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Extra White for contrast, and complements Waterloo, Rainwashed, Greek Villa, and Anchors Aweigh in coastal or contemporary schemes.
