Sherwin Williams

Liquid Blue

SW 6779

Liquid Blue SW 6779 is a cool blue with aqua undertones, registering an LRV of 60 that places it in the upper mid-range for light reflectance. The aqua shift keeps it from reading as stark blue, lending a slightly green-leaning quality on walls. It works well in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and bedrooms where moderate brightness is desired.

Pair it with Extra White SW 7006 for crisp trim contrast, or coordinate with Rainwashed SW 6211 and Tidewater SW 6477 for a tonal scheme. Alabaster SW 7008 and Sea Salt SW 6204 also complement naturally.
