Sherwin Williams

Loch Blue

SW 6502

Loch Blue is a cool, saturated blue carrying noticeable green undertones, with an LRV of 16 that places it firmly in the deeper end of the spectrum. Its teal-leaning character reads as rich and grounded, absorbing a significant amount of light in any space. This depth suits accent walls, powder rooms, or exterior doors where a strong color statement is functional.

Pair it with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Alabaster, Quietude, Waterloo, and Accessible Beige to provide contrast and prevent the surrounding palette from feeling too heavy in lower-light rooms.
