Sherwin Williams

Electric Lime

SW 6921

Electric Lime is a bold, high-chroma yellow-green with strong warm-green undertones, registering an LRV of 42. Its intensity limits full-room application, but it functions effectively as an accent wall, in playrooms, or in creative workspaces. The color carries significant visual energy and benefits from grounding with neutral companions.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Agreeable Gray, Intellectual Gray, and Extra White provide the necessary contrast and balance. In low light, it shifts toward a deeper olive tone.
