Sherwin Williams

Mountain Air

SW 6224

Mountain Air is a light cool blue with gray undertones, registering an LRV of 73, which places it among the higher-reflectance options suitable for full-room application. The gray undertone keeps it from reading as icy or stark, lending a quiet neutrality that works in bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas. Under warm artificial light, the blue recedes slightly and the gray becomes more prominent.

Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Sea Salt, Agreeable Gray, Reflecting Pool, and Alabaster coordinate cleanly alongside it.
