High Strung

SW 6705

High Strung is a vibrant green with warm yellow undertones that reads as an earthy chartreuse, carrying an LRV of 31. This mid-range reflectance places it in the medium-depth category, suitable for accent walls or home offices where a saturated but grounded color is needed. It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Compatible Cream, Urban Bronze, Alabaster, and Roycroft Suede for schemes that balance its warmth with neutral or deeper tones.

The yellow-green cast becomes more prominent under warm artificial lighting.
