Sherwin Williams Cloudburst SW 6487 is a medium-depth blue-green with a softened, slightly muted presence rather than a bright tropical teal. Its #5c9598 value suggests a cool-leaning color, though the green note keeps it from reading strictly blue. In daylight, Cloudburst can show its clear blue-green character, while warmer artificial light may make it appear a little grayer and more subdued. It has enough color for a full bathroom, bedroom, or study wall, and it also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and charcoal or deep navy accents for contrast.
