Sherwin Williams

Houseplant

SW 6727

Houseplant is a lush green with cool undertones that keep it from shifting toward olive or yellow-green. At an LRV of 14, it reads as a deep, saturated tone that absorbs significant ambient light, making it best suited to accent walls, sunrooms, or exterior shutters. It coordinates naturally with Evergreen Fog (SW 9130), Clary Sage (SW 6178), and Oyster White (SW 7637) for balanced contrast.

Pairing with Extra White (SW 7006) on trim frames the depth of the green cleanly without competing warmth.

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.
