Sherwin Williams Blithe Blue SW 9052 is a muted blue-green with an even, softly weathered appearance. Its #90bdbd color value places it in a light-to-mid depth range, with low saturation that keeps the shade from reading overly bright. In daylight, Blithe Blue can show its cool aqua cast more clearly, while warmer bulbs may bring out its subdued gray-green side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or bedroom walls where a calm wash of color is wanted without a strong blue statement. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, warm limestone, or soft charcoal accents for contrast.
