Sherwin Williams

Tame Teal

SW 6757

Tame Teal is a light blue-green from Sherwin-Williams with balanced blue and green undertones that give it a distinctly teal character without heavy saturation. With an LRV of 73, it reflects a high proportion of light and appears bright and airy on walls, functioning similarly to a tinted white in well-lit rooms. This makes it applicable to bathrooms, bedrooms, and open-plan living areas where a light color with visible chromatic content is needed.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt for a close tonal match, Misty for analogous pairing, Peppercorn for dark contrast, Shoji White for warm trim, and Accessible Beige as a neutral companion.
