Sherwin Williams

Naval

SW 6244

Naval is a deep navy blue with a cool temperature that reads as a dense, saturated dark tone in most lighting conditions. With an LRV of just 4, it absorbs nearly all available light and functions best as an accent wall, cabinetry color, or exterior door and shutter shade. In dim rooms it can appear almost black, so adequate lighting is essential.

Naval pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Extra White, Pure White, and Agreeable Gray to maintain contrast and balance in the overall scheme.

Naval in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
