Sea Salt Sherwin-Williams · SW 6204 LRV 63
Sea Salt review: Sherwin-Williams SW 6204
green-gray, shifts blue in cool light.
A genuinely chameleon color: green-gray in warm afternoon light, noticeably more blue in a north-facing bathroom or bedroom. Popular for exactly that shift, but worth testing in the room's actual light before committing to a full repaint.
Sea Salt in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light amplifies Sea Salt's cool or green cast; expect the truest read of its undertone here, for better or worse.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Sea Salt looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South light is bright and warm most of the day, which can soften Sea Salt's cooler undertone without erasing it.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair Sea Salt with
- White or off-white trim, which keeps its shifting undertone the star
- Natural wood and rattan for a coastal, spa-adjacent look
