Sherwin Williams

Minor Blue

SW 6792

Minor Blue is a cool blue with green undertones and an LRV of 68, giving it strong light reflectance while maintaining clear color saturation. The aqua-leaning green shift separates it from lavender blues, placing it closer to a soft teal or seafoam range. It performs well in bathrooms, nurseries, and sunlit bedrooms where a clean, cool palette is desired.

It coordinates with Extra White (SW 7006) for trim, and pairs with Waterloo (SW 9141), Sea Salt (SW 6204), Rainwashed (SW 6211), and Alabaster (SW 7008).
