Sherwin Williams

Little Blue Box

SW 9044

Little Blue Box SW 9044 is a blue with green undertones, carrying an LRV of 49 that positions it at the center of the light-reflectance scale. The green influence gives it a teal-adjacent quality that reads differently under warm versus cool lighting, so sampling in place is recommended. It works well in bathrooms, powder rooms, or as an accent in open-concept spaces.

Coordinate with Extra White SW 7006 on trim, and consider Rainwashed SW 6211 or Waterscape SW 6470 for a tonal approach. Alabaster SW 7008 and Urbane Bronze SW 7048 add complementary contrast.
