Sherwin Williams

Broccoflower

SW 9039

Broccoflower (#8FA277) is a moderately saturated green with yellow undertones, giving it a warm, organic tone. With an LRV of 33, it falls in the mid-range, absorbing more light than it reflects and reading as a definitive color statement rather than a background neutral. The yellow influence keeps it from feeling cold, pushing it toward a mossy, botanical character.

Sherwin-Williams Meander Blue and Honeydew work as analogous companions in a nature-derived palette. Alabaster or Creamy provide warm white contrast, and Tricorn Black or Naval supply darker anchoring tones.
