Sherwin Williams

Lagoon

SW 6480

Lagoon (SW 6480) is a cool mid-tone blue with teal undertones that sits firmly in the blue-green family. At an LRV of 20, it absorbs a substantial amount of light and reads as a concentrated, saturated hue best suited for accent walls, powder rooms, or exterior shutters. The teal undertone distinguishes it from pure blues and gives it noticeable depth.

It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Alabaster, Rainwashed, Quietude, and Halcyon Green, which help offset its low reflectance with lighter surrounding surfaces.

Lagoon in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
