Sherwin Williams

Regatta

SW 6517

Sherwin-Williams Regatta is a deep, saturated navy blue with green undertones that read as a rich dark teal under certain lighting. With a Light Reflectance Value of 8, it absorbs most light and functions as a near-dark color, appropriate for accent walls, cabinetry, front doors, or exterior shutters. It is best used in well-lit spaces or as a focal element rather than on all walls.

Regatta pairs with Sherwin-Williams Eider White and Creamy for strong light-dark contrast, while Sea Salt and Tradewind offer lighter analogous coordination, and Urbane Bronze complements it with a warm neutral counterpoint.
