Sherwin Williams

Waterloo

SW 9141

Waterloo is a deep, desaturated blue from Sherwin-Williams with cool gray undertones and a slightly smoky quality. Its hex value is #536872 and it has a Light Reflectance Value of 13, placing it in the dark end of the spectrum where it absorbs most available light. The gray base keeps the blue from reading too saturated, resulting in a subdued, muted appearance.

This color functions well on accent walls, exterior siding, cabinetry, and furniture pieces. It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Greek Villa for high contrast, and sits comfortably alongside Mineral Gray and Serious Gray in tonal schemes.
