Sherwin Williams

Oceanside

SW 6496

Oceanside (SW 6496) is a rich, saturated blue carrying teal-green undertones, with an LRV of 8. At this depth, it functions almost as a near-dark neutral, absorbing significant light and creating strong visual weight. It is well suited for powder rooms, accent walls, or cabinetry where a deep jewel-tone effect is desired.

Pair it with Pure White (SW 7005) for crisp contrast or Alabaster (SW 7008) for a softer trim option. It coordinates effectively with Spare White (SW 6203), Emerald Isle (SW 6461), and Pewter Green (SW 6208) in layered schemes.
