Sherwin Williams

Loyal Blue

SW 6510

Loyal Blue is a deep cool blue with green influence, registering an LRV of just 5, making it one of the darker options in any palette. The green undertone pushes it toward a dark teal-navy territory that absorbs nearly all ambient light. It functions as a strong accent wall color, exterior front door finish, or cabinetry tone in kitchens and built-ins.

Pair it with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Alabaster, Watery, Sea Salt, and Snowbound for necessary brightness contrast, ensuring adjacent surfaces compensate for the substantial light absorption this color introduces.
