Sherwin Williams

Mild Blue

SW 6533

Mild Blue is a soft blue with subtle purple undertones and an LRV of 65, giving it solid light reflectance for bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways. The lavender-leaning base distinguishes it from purely coastal or sky blues, adding a quiet coolness that reads cleanly on north-facing walls. It remains light enough for full-room application without overwhelming a space.

Compatible Sherwin-Williams pairings include Extra White (SW 7006) for trim, along with Intellectual Gray (SW 7045), Indigo Batik (SW 7602), City Loft (SW 7631), and Colonnade Gray (SW 7641).
