Sherwin Williams Refuge SW 6228 is a deep blue-green that sits between weathered teal and dark ocean water. Its gray cast keeps the color muted rather than tropical, giving it enough depth for a study, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry. In north-facing light, Refuge can read cooler and bluer, while warm lamps and late-afternoon sun bring out more of its green undertone. Pair it with soft warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and pale stone to keep the room from feeling too dark. On larger walls, it has a grounded, enveloping look; on cabinets or a front door, it makes a strong accent without appearing overly bright.
