Sherwin Williams

Greenblack

SW 6994

Greenblack is a deep, nearly black neutral with a subtle green undertone, carrying an LRV of just 4. In most lighting conditions it reads as a rich charcoal-black, with the green cast becoming apparent mainly in strong daylight or against warm-toned surfaces. It works well for exterior trim, front doors, accent walls, and built-in cabinetry.

Pair it with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Repose Gray, Alabaster, and Agreeable Gray for clean contrast, or with Pewter Green for a tonal dark-on-dark composition.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
