Sherwin Williams

Dried Thyme

SW 6186

Dried Thyme is a muted, mid-tone green with gray and olive undertones, carrying an LRV of 21. Its low reflectance and earthy character make it a practical option for exterior siding, dens, or accent walls where a grounded, nature-derived tone is needed. The olive cast keeps it from reading too cool under warm lighting.

Dried Thyme pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Greek Villa, Accessible Beige, and Intellectual Gray, which together create layered schemes that lean warm without becoming heavy.
