Luau Green

SW 6712

Luau Green is a mid-tone green with pronounced yellow undertones and an LRV of 29, placing it in the lower-medium reflectance range. The yellow influence gives it an olive-to-chartreuse quality that reads as earthy and organic rather than bright. It works on accent walls, in studies, or in spaces with ample natural light to offset its moderate absorption.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Accessible Beige, Relentless Olive, Tricorn Black, and Dover White coordinate effectively, grounding the olive character with clean neutrals and allowing warm-toned trim to unify the scheme.
