SHERWIN-WILLIAMS SEA SALT
Sherwin Williams Sea Salt is a cool greenish gray. It provides a relaxing paint hue for your walls and evokes a coastal feeling that so many of us love. It’s a chameleon color that can often change its appearance based on the light of the rooms it’s in (the best way is to test it out on big sheets of paper and tape them up on a variety of spots on your wall and watch it change over the course of a day.)
SW SEA SALT UNDERTONES:
Like I said above, the undertones are largely dependent on the lighting and orientation of the room. In South facing rooms which always run a bit warmer, it will come off slightly greener. While, the opposite is true–in North facing rooms, it will come off as more blue. Test it in your room for the best results!
What makes Sherwin Williams Sea Salt so versatile, and such a strong color in my mind is its gray base. A straight blue or green, doesn’t read as sophisticated as a grayed out version which is usually a better bet in my opinion.
