Humorous Green

SW 6918

Humorous Green is a yellow-green with warm undertones that push it closer to chartreuse than to true green. At an LRV of 47, it falls in the mid-range for light reflectance and brings moderate brightness to kitchens, playrooms, or casual living areas. It coordinates with Alabaster (SW 7008) for clean trim contrast, and pairs naturally with Sassy Green (SW 6416), High Strung (SW 6705), and Rustic City (SW 7594).

In rooms with warm artificial light, the yellow character becomes more dominant than the green.
