Sherwin Williams

Take Five

SW 6513

Take Five is a light blue from Sherwin-Williams with subtle purple undertones that shift it slightly toward lavender in certain lighting conditions. Its LRV of 56 places it in the moderate range, reflecting enough light to keep a room from feeling dim while still registering as a definite color on walls. This makes it functional in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a cool-toned wall is appropriate.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams North Star for a tonal blue grouping, Misty for a lighter complement, Naval for a deep contrasting accent, Acacia Haze for a green-gray counterpoint, and White Heron for trim.
