Sherwin Williams

Frosted Emerald

SW 9035

Frosted Emerald is a cool green with blue undertones that give it a leafy, slightly aquatic quality. With an LRV of 37, it absorbs moderate light and works best in well-lit bathrooms, entryways, or as an accent wall in living spaces. Silver Strand provides a pale tonal transition for trim or wainscoting, and Passive offers a neutral gray complement.

Naval can anchor the palette as a deep accent, Iron Ore grounds it on doors or hardware, while Tradewind and Rainwashed serve as lighter blue-green companions in adjacent rooms.
