Sherwin Williams

Pink Shadow

SW 0070

Yarmouth Blue (HC-150) is a light, cool blue with a subtle gray influence, hex #B5C8C9, and an LRV of 55.82, situating it in the mid-brightness range where it reads as open but not washed out. The desaturated tone lends itself to kitchens, bathrooms, and relaxed living spaces, pairing naturally with white trim and raw materials like wood and stone. Chantilly Lace or Simply White provide clean contrast, while tonal layering with Mt.

Rainier Gray or Silver Lake deepens the cool palette, and warmer options like Edgecomb Gray or Revere Pewter introduce balance.

Pink Shadow 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.
