# Sherwin Williams Poseidon

Sherwin Williams Poseidon SW 6762 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and strong teal character. Its richness holds up well on cabinetry, built-ins, and accent walls, where the color can read nearly jewel-toned without becoming overly bright. In daylight, Poseidon shows its clean green-blue balance; in lower light, it deepens toward a shadowy teal. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or warm brass for contrast that keeps the color from feeling too dark. It also has enough depth for a front door or exterior shutters, especially alongside light neutral siding or brick.
