Sherwin Williams

Cape Verde

SW 6482

Cape Verde is a deep, cool-toned teal balancing oceanic blue and forest green, expressed in hex #01554F. With an LRV of just 7, it absorbs nearly all light, resulting in a dense, saturated presence that commands attention on any surface. The hue is firmly cool, driven by strong blue-green saturation at low brightness.

Sherwin-Williams Natural Tan or Shoji White provide necessary warmth and lightness to counter its depth. Terracotta or ochre-based yellows offer complementary contrast from across the color wheel, while deep navy and muted pine green extend the cool range through analogous layering.
