Sherwin Williams

Moonmist

SW 9144

Moonmist is a cool airy blue with gray undertones, registering an LRV of 68. At this light value, it functions as a pale blue wash that reads almost as a tinted white in bright rooms while showing more definite blue character in lower light. The gray undertone prevents it from appearing overly saturated.

It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and ceilings where a light cool tone is desired. Moonmist works well alongside SW Extra White, SW Krypton, SW Agreeable Gray, SW Sleepy Blue, and SW Uncertain Gray.
