Sherwin Williams

Swimming

SW 6764

Swimming is a light aqua blue from Sherwin-Williams with noticeable green undertones that place it between blue and teal on the color spectrum. It has an LRV of 73, meaning it reflects a large amount of light and reads as bright and open on walls. The cool temperature makes it functional in bathrooms, sunrooms, and coastal-themed spaces where a clean backdrop is needed.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Extra White for trim, Passive for a soft gray contrast, Naval for deeper accent pairing, Olympus White for tonal continuity, and Sea Salt for an analogous blue-green scheme.

Swimming in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
