Sherwin Williams

Dakota Wheat

SW 9023

Dancing Green (hex #C5CD8F) is a mid-tone green with clear yellow undertones, producing a warm-leaning green that reads as muted and natural rather than vivid. Its LRV of 58 keeps it in the mid-light range, reflecting enough light to avoid heaviness while retaining color presence. The yellow shift in this green makes it compatible with Scandinavian and nature-driven palettes.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Creamy provide clean contrast, while Friendly Yellow reinforces the warm undertone. Peppercorn introduces depth, and Tradewind supplies a cool blue counterpoint that sharpens the green tonality.
