Sherwin Williams

Refuge

SW 6228

Sherwin-Williams Refuge is a dark blue-gray with a slight green undertone that gives it a muted, cool character. Its Light Reflectance Value of 19 places it in the lower range, meaning it absorbs most light and reads as a relatively dark color. This makes it a practical choice for accent walls, exterior trim, or smaller rooms where a deeper tone is desired, such as studies, dens, and dining rooms.

Refuge works alongside Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Shoji White for high-contrast pairings, while Slate Tile and Rain offer closely related tonal combinations, and Urbane Bronze serves as a grounding companion.
