Leisure Blue

SW 6515

Leisure Blue SW 6515 is a cool muted blue with gray and purple undertones that temper its saturation, producing a subdued, slate-like appearance. At an LRV of 25, it functions as a medium-dark tone well suited to home offices, bedroom accent walls, or exterior body color. The purple influence becomes more visible under warm lighting.

It coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Extra White SW 7006 for crisp trim contrast and pairs with Agreeable Gray SW 7029, Alabaster SW 7008, Indigo Batik SW 7602, and Web Gray SW 7075.
