Sherwin Williams

Still Water

SW 6223

Sherwin-Williams Still Water is a deep cool blue with green-gray undertones at hex #4A5D5F. Its LRV of 10 means it absorbs most light, reading as a dark teal-influenced neutral that requires well-lit conditions to show its blue-green character. It is commonly used on accent walls, front doors, or cabinetry.

The green-gray shift keeps it from reading as a pure blue. It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White for high-contrast trim, Greek Villa as a warm balance, Retreat for a tonal green grouping, Alabaster on ceilings, and Waterscape as a lighter bridge.
