Sherwin Williams

Rapture Blue

SW 6773

Rapture Blue is a medium-depth cool blue from Sherwin-Williams with subtle green undertones that push it toward the teal-adjacent range. With an LRV of 47, it reflects a moderate amount of light, placing it in a mid-range that reads as neither dark nor washed out. The color functions well in bathrooms, bedrooms, or coastal-style interiors.

Pairing it with Sherwin-Williams Pure White for trim, Agreeable Gray on adjacent walls, or Aquatint for tonal layering creates a cohesive scheme, while Tame Teal can add further depth.
