Sherwin Williams

Regale Blue

SW 6801

Sherwin-Williams Regale Blue is a medium-toned blue with a slight violet undertone that distinguishes it from pure sky blues. Its Light Reflectance Value of 42 places it near the center of the reflectance scale, providing moderate brightness that does not overpower a room. The color is well-suited for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a cool but not overly dark wall color is needed.

Regale Blue coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Snowbound for clean contrast, while Tradewind and Rain provide analogous blue pairings, and Naval can be used as a deeper accent in the same color family.
