What Color Is Connor's Lakefront, Really?
Connor's Lakefront reads as a cool blue-green tone — very dark — reads black in most rooms. The notes below cover how HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams HGSW 9060 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Connor's Lakefront
Connor's Lakefront earns its keep as a statement: accent walls, a front door, cabinetry, a moody powder room, or exterior trim where you want sharp contrast. Teals add character without shouting — good for a vanity, an island or a feature wall.
How Lighting Changes Connor's Lakefront
At LRV 8, Connor's Lakefront is about as dark as paint gets — it reads near-black on a wall and reveals its character only in direct daylight or under warm bulbs. Its teal undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. In rooms with little natural light it can feel heavy, so reserve it for spaces you want to feel enveloping.
Most complaints about Connor's Lakefront are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
