Sherwin Williams Nautilus SW 6780 is a clear, mid-tone blue with a noticeable blue-green cast that keeps it from reading like a standard sky blue. Its cool, fresh character is softened by enough green to give the color a lightly aquatic appearance, especially in bright daylight. In north-facing rooms, Nautilus may look crisper and slightly bluer, while warmer artificial light can bring out more of its teal side. It has enough saturation for a powder room, laundry room, or painted built-in, but can also cover bedroom or bathroom walls without feeling too dark. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and soft sand or muted coral accents for contrast.
