Moscow Midnight

SW 9142

Moscow Midnight is a deep cool blue with green undertones, registering an LRV of 5, making it one of the darker options on the color card. The green undertone shifts it away from a straightforward navy toward a teal-adjacent depth that reads differently under incandescent versus daylight conditions. It functions well on front doors, cabinetry, or accent walls in rooms with ample light.

Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Snowbound, Sea Salt, Waterloo, and Pure White provide effective contrast in adjacent or trim applications.
