Sherwin Williams

Minimalist

SW 9611

Yellow Green (hex #008A31) is a fully saturated, mid-dark green with strong yellow-leaning undertones that give it a distinctly grassy character. Its LRV of 18.35 makes it a low-reflectance color that absorbs substantial light, so it reads as dense and concentrated on surfaces. The hue sits firmly in the green range but with enough yellow bias to avoid blue-green or teal readings.

Pairing it with Decorator's White or Pure White provides sharp tonal relief, while Spring Meadow and Soft Fern offer analogous support. Dark Olive or Newburg Green can deepen a coordinated green scheme.
