Sherwin Williams

Artichoke

SW 6179

Artichoke (SW 6179) by Sherwin-Williams is a muted, earthy green with gray undertones at hex #7F8266 and an LRV of 21. Its low reflectance and cool-leaning temperature produce a grounded, subdued presence that reads as both organic and controlled depending on available light. The gray infusion prevents the green from appearing overly saturated, making it a stable backdrop for kitchens, libraries, or transitional accent walls.

Artichoke layers naturally with Sherwin-Williams Sage Green Light and Retreat in analogous schemes, and balances well against warm off-whites like Shoji White or Dover White.
