Sherwin Williams

Nautilus

SW 6780

Nautilus is a cool blue with a distinct green undertone that places it squarely in the blue-green family rather than a pure blue. Its LRV of 42 puts it in the mid-range, offering moderate light reflectance suitable for accent walls or smaller rooms where a saturated tone is desired. It reads more teal in warm artificial lighting and shifts cooler under daylight.

Nautilus coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Rainwashed, Sea Salt, Alabaster, and Cityscape for coastal or bathroom applications.
