Sherwin Williams

Lakeside

SW 9683

A restrained pale blue-gray defines Lakeside SW 9683, with enough color to register against white trim. Its softened appearance works well for a calm backdrop without slipping into icy brightness. Weathered oak balances the blue.

A deeper blue nearby provides continuity.

Lakeside 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.
