Mariner

SW 6766

Mariner (SW 6766) is a cool blue with green undertones, registering an LRV of 46 that places it at a moderate reflectance level with noticeable brightness for a saturated hue. The green influence gives it a teal-like quality that reads differently under warm versus cool lighting. It works well in bathrooms, sunrooms, and coastal-styled interiors.

It pairs effectively with Extra White (SW 7006) for clean trim contrast, Watery (SW 6478) as a lighter companion, and Cyberspace (SW 7076) for darker grounding. Reflecting Pool (SW 6486) and Rainwashed (SW 6211) build out an analogous scheme.
