More about Rainwashed
Rainwashed is Sherwin-Williams' soft spa blue-green — a cousin of Sea Salt, a touch bluer and at a similar LRV 59. It has the same chameleon quality, shifting between pale aqua, soft green, and gray depending on the light, which is why it's a perennial favorite for bathrooms and coastal-feeling rooms.
That shape-shifting means you can't judge it from the chip — sample it where it's going. It pairs with crisp whites and warm wood and fights cool grays. Benjamin Moore Silver Marlin and Behr Frosted Jade are its closest cross-brand matches.
