Sherwin Williams

Resolute Blue

SW 6507

Resolute Blue by Sherwin-Williams is a medium-light blue with gray undertones, carrying an LRV of 40. The hex value #85B0C4 indicates a moderately saturated, cool blue that reads as steady rather than bright or vivid. At this reflectance level, it provides enough depth to define a room without making it feel dark.

This shade is applicable in bedrooms, bathrooms, and accent walls where a cool tone is appropriate. It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Extra White or Snowbound for trim contrast, and Agreeable Gray or Repose Gray offer warm-neutral balance. Topsail serves as a lighter analogous companion.
