Sherwin Williams

Sky High

SW 6504

Sky High is a light blue from Sherwin-Williams with a greenish-blue cast that reads as a soft aqua-tinted white. Its Light Reflectance Value of 78 places it near the upper end of the brightness scale, meaning it reflects most ambient light and will read close to white in lower-light conditions. The hue angle at approximately 185 degrees confirms the slight teal lean rather than a pure blue.

This makes it functional in smaller rooms, bathrooms, and spaces with limited natural light where maintaining brightness is important. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams First Star, Olympus White, Naval, Web Gray, and Rainwashed.

Sky High in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
