Sherwin Williams

Rainwashed

SW 6211

Sherwin-Williams Rainwashed is a soft, muted green with cool blue-gray undertones and a slightly silvery quality. With an LRV of 59, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, making it bright enough to open up smaller rooms without appearing stark. This color is particularly functional in north-facing rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, and transitional living spaces.

Rainwashed coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Snowbound as trim whites, while analogous colors like Sea Salt and Comfort Gray create a tonal progression, and deeper accents such as Urbane Bronze provide grounding contrast.
