Sherwin Williams

Nifty Turquoise

SW 6941

Nifty Turquoise is a vibrant cool blue-green with an LRV of 21, placing it in the deeper value range with strong chromatic intensity. It is best applied as an accent on feature walls, cabinetry, doors, or powder rooms where its saturated teal presence can be controlled. Nifty Turquoise pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Extra White for high-contrast trim, Alabaster on surrounding walls, Caviar for a grounded dark accent, and Rainwashed as a lighter transitional tone.

In north-facing rooms it will read cooler and slightly darker than the swatch suggests.
