Sherwin Williams

Riverway

SW 6222

Riverway is a muted, cool-toned blue from Sherwin-Williams with gray-green undertones that place it between slate blue and teal. It has a Light Reflectance Value of 16, absorbing most ambient light and reading as a dark, grounded color. The gray-green undertone prevents it from appearing as a straightforward blue, adding complexity to its character.

It works best on accent walls or in spaces like libraries and dining rooms where a darker atmosphere is appropriate. Riverway coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Shoji White for high-contrast trim, Pewter Green and Rosemary for analogous pairings, and Cavern Clay for a warm accent.
