Cilantro

SW 6453

Cilantro (hex #537150) is a rich, medium green with cool undertones and an LRV of 14, placing it firmly in the darker range of the spectrum. It absorbs most ambient light, producing a grounded, saturated appearance on walls or cabinetry. The hue leans toward a true botanical green without drifting into teal or olive territory.

Cilantro works in a tonal scheme alongside Sherwin-Williams Natural Linen or Creamy as lighter counterpoints, gains dramatic contrast when placed near deep blues like Naval or rich burgundies like Bravado Red, and aligns with muted neighbors such as Temperate Taupe for a cohesive, nature-rooted palette.
