Sherwin Williams

Sporty Blue

SW 6522

Sporty Blue is a cool, mid-tone blue with noticeable purple undertones that lend it a slight periwinkle quality under natural light. With an LRV of 24, it falls in the lower-medium reflectance range, providing moderate depth without appearing overly dark. The hex value #6A8AA4 confirms its muted, steel-blue character.

This shade is functional in bedrooms, home offices, or living rooms where a composed cool tone is needed. It pairs with Sherwin-Williams First Star as a lighter complement, Egret White for trim, Samovar Silver for tonal gray layering, Moth Wing for warm contrast, and Cavern Clay for an earthy counterbalance.
