Sherwin Williams

Rock Candy

SW 6231

Rock Candy is a light neutral from Sherwin-Williams that reads as a very pale gray rather than a true white. With an LRV of 75, it reflects substantial light and can brighten rooms with limited natural illumination. Its blue-green undertone becomes more apparent under daylight, distinguishing it from warmer off-whites.

This color suits walls in bathrooms, hallways, and open-plan areas. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Passive and Misty for tonal layering, while Daphne and Slate Tile provide deeper cool contrast, and Repose Gray bridges toward warmer neutrals.
