Sherwin Williams Anchors Aweigh SW 9179 is a deep blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and a muted, nearly charcoal level of depth. Its blue presence is noticeable without reading bright, while the gray keeps the color grounded and low in saturation. In daylight, Anchors Aweigh can show more of its slate-blue character; in lower light, it settles into a darker, inky gray-blue. It makes a strong choice for a study, dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall where a darker backdrop feels intentional. Pair it with soft white trim, pale greige textiles, warm oak, black metal, or aged brass for contrast against its cool base.
