Oyster Bay: The Calming, Timeless Paint That's Taking Design by Storm
Sherwin-Williams' Oyster Bay is a complex pale blue paint that has been gaining popularity among designers and homeowners alike. According to Emily Kantz, color marketing manager at Sherwin-Williams, Oyster Bay is a soft green-gray with subtle slate-blue undertones that creates a calming, sophisticated feel.
Oyster Bay's balanced undertones allow it to shift beautifully throughout the day, making it feel fresh and airy in brighter spaces while taking on a cozier, more grounded appearance in lower light. This versatility makes it a go-to color for designers who want to create a timeless and effortlessly calm atmosphere in their designs.
Interior designer Staci Steidley of Studio Steidley praises Oyster Bay's ability to add depth without overwhelming a space. She notes that the color can feel serene and airy during the day while taking on a richer, more intimate character in the evening.
Jennifer Verruto, founder of Blythe Interiors, sees Oyster Bay as a mid-tone gray-green with a dash of slate blue. She recommends pairing it with soft neutrals and plenty of natural textures to create a calming beach house look.
