Sherwin Williams

Cucumber

SW 6722

Cucumber is a cool, light green with a clean, slightly yellow-green cast that reads fresh without being overly saturated. At an LRV of 71, it reflects a substantial amount of light, giving rooms an open, airy quality. The hue leans toward a leafy, muted green rather than a bold or jewel-toned one, making it well-suited to kitchens, bathrooms, or sunlit spaces.

It pairs naturally with SW Hearts of Palm and SW Tame Teal as analogous companions, while SW Naval provides a strong cool contrast. SW Shoji White and SW Accessible Beige serve as grounding neutrals alongside it.
