Sherwin Williams

Raindrop

SW 6485

Sherwin-Williams Raindrop is a cool blue with a subtle green shift and moderate saturation. At an LRV of 52, it reflects slightly more than half the light that hits it, placing it in a mid-light range that reads as airy without washing out. This tone works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas, particularly in coastal or contemporary settings.

Raindrop pairs cleanly with Sherwin-Williams Eider White and Silver Strand for a soft, cool-toned palette, while deeper accents like Naval or Tricorn Black add definition, and Softened Green provides a close analogous complement.
