Sherwin Williams

Greens

SW 6748

Greens is a deep, vibrant green with cool undertones and an LRV of 10, making it a bold, saturated choice that functions best as an accent rather than a full-room color. It reads as a strong, classic green with minimal yellow influence, holding its intensity well under both natural and artificial light. This shade is effective on front doors, powder room walls, and built-in shelving.

It pairs cleanly with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Creamy, Urbane Bronze, and Pure White, while Pewter Green offers a softer tonal bridge.
