Sherwin Williams

Dusted Olive

SW 9028

Dusted Olive is a warm, muted tone with yellow and green undertones, carrying an LRV of 40. It reads as a golden-green that leans distinctly warm, bridging the gap between green and gold in most lighting. This quality suits living rooms, kitchens, or studies where an earthy warmth is desired without going fully into brown territory.

It coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Wool Skein, Sage, and Alabaster, which balance its yellow-green warmth with softer, lighter neutrals.
