Sherwin Williams

Contented

SW 6191

Contented (SW 6191, #BDC0B3) is a soft, muted green with balanced gray undertones, registering an LRV of 52. At this mid-tone reflectance, it keeps rooms feeling open while providing enough pigment to read distinctly on walls. The hue leans toward sage without crossing into pastel or mint territory, and its cool temperature gives it a grounded, quiet quality.

It layers naturally with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray and Fleur de Sel for a tonal neutral scheme, and analogous greens like Sea Salt or Comfort Gray extend its range without competing for attention.
