Sherwin Williams

Rain

SW 6219

Sherwin-Williams Rain is a cool, muted blue with gray undertones that keep it from reading as saturated or bright. With an LRV of 49, it falls near the middle of the reflectance scale, providing moderate brightness that neither dominates nor recedes in a room. This makes it a functional wall color for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a subdued blue tone is appropriate.

Rain coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray in adjacent spaces, Pure White for trim, and deeper tones like Naval or Urbane Bronze for accent contrast, while Sleepy Blue offers a lighter analogous option.
