Sherwin Williams

Basque Green

SW 6426

Basque Green from Sherwin-Williams is a deep, concentrated green with both warm and cool undertones contributing to its layered character. An LRV of 11 means it absorbs nearly all light, producing a dark, saturated effect appropriate for feature walls, studies, or rooms where a low-lit atmosphere is desired. The hex #5F6033 reveals a distinctly warm olive-green lean with yellow-brown influence.

Lighter neutrals like Eider White or Aesthetic White provide necessary contrast against its depth, while Spalding Gray and Neutral Ground serve as transitional companions. Honeycomb introduces a warm accent that draws out its underlying yellow tones.
