Sherwin Williams

Evergreens

SW 6447

Evergreens is a deep, saturated green with cool blue-green undertones and noticeable warmth from its yellow base. With an LRV of 8, it reflects very little light and reads as a rich, forest-weight color best suited to accent walls, cabinetry, or exterior doors. It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Contented, Softened Green, Alabaster, Clary Sage, and Rosemary, forming layered green schemes or sharp contrast against clean whites.

Due to its low reflectivity, pairing it with higher-LRV colors helps prevent enclosed spaces from feeling too compressed.
