Needlepoint Navy

SW 0032

Needlepoint Navy (SW, hex #546670) is a deep blue with gray undertones and an LRV of 13, indicating low light reflectance and a dark overall appearance. The gray content softens the blue, preventing it from reading as a saturated primary. It pairs within the Sherwin-Williams line with Creamy, Alabaster, Rookwood Red, Moody Blue, and Riverway.

Creamy and Alabaster provide lighter contrast for trim and adjacent walls. Moody Blue and Riverway sit in a similar tonal family for analogous schemes, while Rookwood Red introduces a complementary warm accent for high-contrast arrangements.
