Sherwin Williams

Misty

SW 6232

Misty is a cool light blue-gray with soft aqua undertones, registering an LRV of 64. This mid-light neutral reads as a quiet, composed gray in north-facing rooms while the aqua cast becomes more apparent under warm artificial light. It pairs well with SW Alabaster for trim contrast and coordinates effectively with SW Snowbound, SW Sea Salt, SW Agreeable Gray, and SW Passive.

Suitable for bathrooms, bedrooms, and open-concept living areas where a restrained cool palette is desired without veering into stark blue territory.
