Sherwin Williams Down Pour SW 6516 is a medium blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue character can show a subtle teal lean in daylight, while lower or warmer light makes it appear deeper and more subdued. Down Pour has enough depth for a study, dining room, or bedroom wall, yet it can also make a distinctive statement on kitchen cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale gray-blue tones, weathered wood, and brushed nickel for a clean, grounded look. For more contrast, this shade stands out beautifully beside warm terracotta, natural leather, or light oak.
