Sherwin Williams

Azure Tide

SW 9684

Woodland Hills Green is a warm green with a distinct golden cast, carrying an LRV of 43.52 that positions it in the mid-range of the reflectance scale. The hex value #A6BA80 indicates a yellow-green pigment base, and its golden undertones keep it from reading as a cool or blue-leaning green. Under warm artificial light, the golden quality intensifies, while daylight tends to balance the hue toward a more true green.

Benjamin Moore Soft Fern and Pale Avocado reinforce its warm-green character, Van Deusen Blue introduces a complementary contrast, and Muslin or White Dove serve as grounding warm neutrals.

Azure Tide in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
