Great Falls
There is more to Sherwin-Williams Great Falls (6495) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its midtone saturation balances color with restraint, so the hue can register without overwhelming nearby finishes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
