Best Sherwin Williams Coastal Paint Colors

This post is about the best Sherwin Williams coastal paint colors.

How these colors were chosen

These colors aren’t exactly the in-your-face coastal paint colors of yore. They don’t scream, “BEACH HOUSE”. And that’s intentional.

When you choose paint colors that lean too bold, you risk going into theme territory – where your home feels less like a cohesive home and more like an AirBnb in Key West.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, and if that is your personal style, then please go all in!

But for most homes that aren’t vacation rentals, you’ll want to design a space that is less beach-themed and more coastal-inspired.

This can mean choosing more classic coastal paint colors as opposed to bright teals. It can also mean showing restraint, and using coastal-inspired colors more as accent colors around your home.

So, this ‘Best Of’ list below does just that. These are the coastal paint colors from one of the most popular brands, Sherwin Williams, that will bring a coastal vibe to your home in a way that still feels fresh and classic for years to come.

Best Sherwin Williams coastal paint colors

Pure White

This is already listed as one of the best white paint colors, and it looks beautiful when paired with coastal-inspired colors as well.

Pure White is a bright, soft white that works especially well indoors. I’d recommend Pure White for interior walls and cabinetry.

Accessible Beige

Don’t worry, this isn’t the dreaded drab beige of the early 2000s! Accessible Beige is exactly like the name says…accessible!

This warm color has a wink of grey that prevents the beige from looking too brownish yellow. I love this shade for interior doors and trim.

Sea Salt

Sea Salt is a beautiful green-blue color that tends to look more green in warmer light and more blue in cool light. This is a color that would look best in bathrooms.

Tradewind

You can practically feel the sea breeze just by looking at this bright, light blue!

Tradewind shines when used as an accent color, like for a front door, against a bright white exterior.

Stardew

This mid-tone blue offers a good balance between warm and cool undertones. It’s a very soothing blue for a bedroom, and it would look lovely on kitchen cabinetry as well.

Naval

If you’re looking for something a little less Gulf coast and a little more New England coastal, this deep blue will suit you well.

Naval is the perfect accent color and works beautifully as a statement on a kitchen island or on exterior accents like shutters.
