Aleutian SW 6241
Aleutian is soothing yet playful. Aleutian SW 6241 is part of Sherwin William’s 2022 Color Forecast in the Opus collection. This color is a soft blue with a touch of gray and warm undertones. The color is excellent to use in spaces meant to be calming and relaxing, like bathrooms and living rooms. The color blue also creates a feeling of safety and trustworthiness. These feelings are beneficial for commercial applications like offices and waiting rooms.
The dining room below features the Aleutian paint color on all the walls. The effect is an inviting yet relaxed environment to gather. Enhancing the room is furniture and decor that highlight natural materials, layered textures, and curated artwork. These create a blend of bohemian and modern styles.
Inspiration – Aleutian SW 6241
This relaxing hue of Aleutian blue is celebrated in a soothing monochromatic palette. This photograph of this building on a foggy day was the source of inspiration. This tonal palette showcases light soft blues to deep shadowy blues. This monochromatic blend creates a sense of stability and security.
