Sherwin Williams

Agate Green

SW 7742

Agate Green (SW, #8EA486) is a muted, desaturated green with a slightly cool, olive-leaning base and a grayed influence throughout. Its LRV of 34 places it in the lower-mid range, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a subdued, earthy tone. The gray component keeps it from appearing overtly botanical.

Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage and Softened Green align with its muted green family for a tonal scheme. Shoji White and Greek Villa provide clean warm-white contrast. Complementary pairings in subdued terracotta or muted plum add depth without competing with its quiet character.
