Sherwin Williams

Gecko

SW 6719

Gecko is a warm earthy green with pronounced yellow undertones, registering an LRV of 22 that gives it moderate depth. This saturated, olive-leaning hue works on exterior doors, accent walls, or sunrooms where natural light can activate its warmth. Wheat Grass and Saguaro offer tonal coordination within a green palette, while Alabaster and Shoji White provide necessary contrast on trim and ceilings.

Rookwood Sash Green serves as a darker companion for shutters or lower cabinetry. The yellow base means it shifts warmer under incandescent lighting.
