Quench Blue

SW 6785

Quench Blue is a light, cool blue with green undertones that shift it toward aqua. At an LRV of 69, it reflects substantial light, reading as airy and open on walls, especially in well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms. The green component prevents it from appearing stark or icy, producing a softer blue-green tone instead.

It is saturated enough to clearly read as a color rather than a tinted neutral. Sherwin-Williams Pure White works as a clean trim pairing, Aquaverde and Tradewind extend the blue-green range, and Naval or Anchors Aweigh serve as deeper accent tones for contrast.
