Cabinet Color Spotlight: Retreat (SW 6207)

Calm, Earthy Sophistication

Sherwin-Williams Retreat (SW 6207) is a muted blue-green that delivers timeless calm and sophistication. On cabinetry, it creates a relaxed yet elevated aesthetic, blending nature-inspired tranquility with designer refinement. It’s ideal for kitchens where homeowners want both character and serenity.

The Undertones of Retreat

Retreat is a blue-green with gray undertones, giving it a subdued, earthy feel rather than a bright or saturated tone. This makes it incredibly versatile — bold enough to stand out, yet soft enough to act as a neutral in cabinetry design.
