Sherwin Williams

Garden Gate

SW 6167

Garden Gate is a rich earthy green with muted undertones, registering an LRV of 10. At this low reflectance, it reads as a deep olive-brown tone that works in studies, powder rooms, or exterior shutters where a quiet dark neutral is needed. The muted quality prevents it from reading overtly green in most lighting conditions.

Wool Skein and Nomadic Desert provide warm, lighter contrast on trim and adjacent surfaces. Alabaster works as a clean ceiling color, and Naval offers a compatible dark accent for a layered scheme with controlled depth.
