Sherwin Williams

Thermal Spring

SW 6761

Thermal Spring is a moderately deep blue-green from Sherwin-Williams with cool undertones that lean toward teal. Its LRV of 21 means it absorbs a substantial amount of light and registers as a saturated, mid-dark tone on the wall, so it benefits from rooms with good natural or layered artificial lighting. This color is commonly used in bathrooms, bedrooms, and accent walls where a strong cool-toned presence is intended.

It works within a related palette alongside Sherwin-Williams Tradewind and Sea Salt, while pairing with Eider White or Agreeable Gray provides a lighter neutral balance. Deeper companions like Naval add layered depth to the overall scheme.
