Sherwin Williams

Bengal Grass

SW 6411

Bengal Grass (SW, #8E773F) is a warm earthy yellow with green undertones, registering a low LRV of 19, which means it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a deep, saturated tone on walls. The green influence shifts it away from pure gold toward an olive-adjacent territory, giving it a distinctly organic, grounded quality. Oakmoss and Garden Sage align with its earthy character for a tonal grouping, while Black Fox and Urbane Bronze provide darker anchoring tones.

Creamy or Dover White lighten the palette and help offset the depth of this low-reflectance color.
