Sherwin Williams

Whirlpool

SW 9135

Whirlpool is a muted, desaturated blue with cool gray undertones and a slight blue-green lean in its base. With an LRV of 29, it absorbs a significant portion of light, registering as a mid-to-dark tone that can add depth to walls without reading as overly heavy. The gray cast keeps it from appearing too saturated, making it functional for accent walls, cabinetry, or bedroom spaces.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Morning Fog for a tonal blue-gray scheme, Olympus White as a lighter trim option, Shoji White to introduce warmth, Alabaster for crisp contrast, and Pewter Green for an analogous pairing.
