Sherwin Williams

Scanda

SW 6529

Scanda is a cool, muted blue from Sherwin-Williams with subtle blue-gray and soft purple undertones. At an LRV of 25, it absorbs more light than it reflects, giving it a medium-dark depth on walls. This makes it well-suited for bedrooms, home offices, and accent walls where a cool, subdued atmosphere is appropriate.

The color maintains enough gray in its base to avoid reading as overly saturated. Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Snowbound provide clean, high-contrast trim pairings, while Sleepy Blue and Silvermist offer softer analogous coordination, and Naval can be used for a deeper tonal accent.
