SW 9049

Sky Fall is a medium-saturation cool blue from Sherwin-Williams with an LRV of 51, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. The color carries a clean blue tone without heavy gray or green shifts, reading as an open and airy blue on walls. At this reflectance level it maintains visibility and brightness in well-lit rooms while providing noticeable color presence.

It is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and coastal-themed interiors. Sky Fall works alongside Sherwin-Williams Sleepy Blue, Tradewind, Naval, Alabaster, and Pure White to build both tonal and high-contrast combinations.
