Sherwin Williams Moody Blue SW 6221 is a muted blue-gray with a noticeable green cast, giving it the look of weathered sea glass rather than a crisp primary blue. Its medium depth keeps it present on a wall without making a room feel overly dark. In bright daylight, the gray-blue character is likely to read more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its softer green undertone. Moody Blue suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen textiles, and brushed brass hardware. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky navy, or natural terracotta accents.
