Sherwin Williams

Secret Cove

SW 9058

Secret Cove is a cool blue with gray undertones that give it a muted quality rather than a bright or saturated appearance. With an LRV of 25, it falls in the lower-middle range, absorbing more light than it reflects and reading as a medium-dark tone on walls. The gray undertone prevents it from appearing overly vivid, making it functional as a full-room color in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms.

Secret Cove works with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for trim contrast, Sea Salt on adjacent walls, Agreeable Gray for transitional spaces, and Naval as a deeper accent.
