Sherwin Williams

Stardew

SW 9138

Stardew is a muted, cool-toned blue with gray undertones that keep it from reading as a saturated blue. With an LRV of 43, it sits in the true mid-range of light reflectance. The hex value #A6B2B5 shows it leans toward blue-gray, functioning as both a color and a neutral depending on context.

This shade is practical for bedrooms, bathrooms, or living rooms needing a subdued cool wall color. It works with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for warm white trim, Pure White for a crisper pairing, Samovar Silver for tonal layering, North Star as a lighter option, and Cavern Clay for warm-cool balance.
