Sea Salt

SW 6204

Sea Salt is a light muted green with cool gray undertones that can shift toward blue depending on ambient lighting. It has an LRV of 63, meaning it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light and reads as an airy, subdued tone in well-lit rooms. The color is commonly applied in bathrooms, bedrooms, and open living areas where a quiet cool-toned backdrop is needed.

Sea Salt works alongside Sherwin-Williams Comfort Gray for a tonal scheme, Alabaster for trim contrast, Pewter Green for depth, Aloof Gray for a coordinated palette, and Spare White on ceilings.
