Sherwin Williams

Smoky Azurite

SW 9148

Smoky Azurite is a muted blue from Sherwin-Williams with gray undertones and a subtle green cast, giving it a complex, mineral-like quality. With an LRV of 25, it falls in the darker mid-range, providing noticeable depth without heavy saturation. The cool blue-green base reads differently depending on lighting conditions, shifting between slate blue and teal-gray throughout the day.

It is well suited for bedrooms, home offices, or feature walls in both modern and traditional settings. This color coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Oyster White, Drift of Mist, Silver Strand, and deeper tones like Granite Peak or Anchors Aweigh.
