Sherwin Williams

Refresh

SW 6751

Sherwin-Williams Refresh is a light blue-green with cool mint undertones and moderate saturation. With a Light Reflectance Value of 59, it reflects a considerable amount of light while still reading as a distinct color rather than a near-white. The green undertone is prominent, giving it a clean and cool character suited to bathrooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms.

It can also be applied in kitchens or laundry rooms where a fresh, clean look is needed. Refresh pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt and Rainwashed in analogous schemes, while Naval provides deep contrast and Accessible Beige adds a warm neutral counterpoint.
