Sherwin Williams

Rivulet

SW 6760

Rivulet is a cool blue-green from Sherwin-Williams with green undertones that push it toward the teal-aqua range. It has a Light Reflectance Value of 33, placing it in the medium brightness range where it reads as a clearly saturated color without appearing overly dark. The green influence is strong enough to separate it from a standard mid-tone blue, giving it a distinctly aquatic character.

It is commonly used in bathrooms and coastal-themed interiors. Rivulet works with Sherwin-Williams Extra White or Snowbound for trim contrast, Tradewind and Rainwashed for lighter analogous pairings, and Naval as a deeper anchor.
