Sherwin Williams

Vintage Vessel

SW 9050

Vintage Vessel is a muted blue-green with cool undertones and a gray influence that softens its saturation, registering an LRV of 41. At this mid-range reflectance, it provides moderate brightness while retaining clear color identity on walls. The gray component keeps it from reading as a vivid teal, resulting in a desaturated, weathered appearance.

It works well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas where a low-saturation cool tone is appropriate. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Greek Villa balance its coolness with warm whites, while Sea Salt, Austere Gray, and Agreeable Gray offer tonal coordination.
