Sherwin Williams

Lark Green

SW 6745

Lark Green (SW 6745) is a green with blue undertones that reads as a clear, mid-saturation tone. Its LRV of 46 places it at a moderate reflectance level, providing enough brightness for use in living areas, bedrooms, or home offices with adequate natural light. The blue undertone shifts it away from earthy greens and toward a cooler, leafy quality.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Rainwashed, Sea Salt, Quietude, and Filmy Green, which share its cool green orientation and provide tonal range in layered schemes.
