Sherwin Williams

Kale Green

SW 6460

Kale Green SW 6460 is a cool muted green with gray undertones and an LRV of 13, making it a low-reflectance color with substantial visual density. The gray component tempers the green saturation, producing a subdued, naturalistic tone that reads as botanical without being bright. It works well in home offices, powder rooms, and exterior shutters where restrained color is needed.

Kale Green pairs effectively with Alabaster SW 7008 for trim, alongside Retreat SW 6207, Rosemary SW 6187, Oyster Bay SW 6206, and Evergreen Fog SW 9130.
