Sherwin Williams

Derbyshire

SW 6741

Derbyshire is a rich, deep green with cool blue undertones that place it firmly in the traditional forest-green family. At an LRV of 9, it absorbs significant light, making it best suited for accent walls, powder rooms, or exterior doors where a bold statement is appropriate. The low reflectance means adequate lighting is important in interior applications.

Derbyshire coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Pure White, and Balanced Beige as lighter counterpoints, while Pewter Green and Ripe Olive provide tonal depth within a green-focused palette.
