Sherwin Williams

Soulful Blue

SW 6543

Soulful Blue is a medium-toned blue-gray from Sherwin-Williams with discernible purple undertones that give it a slightly violet cast under certain lighting. With an LRV of 20, it falls into the darker range, absorbing most of the light in a room and lending a substantial, grounded feel. This color functions well in bedrooms, home offices, or accent walls where a deeper backdrop is appropriate.

It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Silver Strand for a lighter contrast, Agreeable Gray on trim, North Star in hallways, Mythical for tonal depth, and Urbane Bronze as a complementary warm neutral.
