Sherwin Williams Dyer's Woad SW 9071 is a medium blue with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is clear, though the muted saturation gives it a grounded, usable look on broad walls. In daylight, this shade can appear airy and blue-forward; under warmer artificial light, its grayed quality becomes more noticeable. Try it in a bedroom, home office, or bath with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Dyer's Woad also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door when paired with lighter surrounding finishes.
