Sherwin Williams

Courtyard

SW 6440

Courtyard (SW, #475842) is a deep, muted green carrying gray undertones that pull it toward an organic, foliage-like appearance. Its LRV of 9 means it absorbs most surrounding light, making it read as a dark, saturated neutral in lower-lit environments. Despite the low reflectance, the color maintains a degree of chromatic richness attributable to its relatively high brightness rating.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy or Wool Skein work as warm neutral counterpoints, while analogous greens like Retreat or Acacia Haze build a layered, nature-referenced palette. Alabaster provides a clean, high-contrast trim option.
