Sherwin Williams

Rhythmic Blue

SW 6806

Rhythmic Blue is a soft, cool blue from Sherwin-Williams with purple undertones that position it near the periwinkle range. Its Light Reflectance Value of 69 indicates high brightness, keeping rooms well-lit and open. The blue-to-lavender lean shifts with lighting, reading bluer under daylight and more violet under incandescent sources.

It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living spaces. This color works with Sherwin-Williams Snowbound or Pure White for trim, Veiled Violet and Windy Blue as analogous options, and Cyberspace for a grounding contrast.
