Muddled Basil

SW 7745

Muddled Basil is a deep earthy green with yellow undertones, registering an LRV of 9, which means it absorbs a substantial amount of light. The yellow undertone moves it away from a pure forest green toward an olive-inflected depth that reads organic and grounded. It works on accent walls, built-in cabinetry, or exterior doors where a concentrated color statement is needed.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy, Alabaster, Accessible Beige, Urbane Bronze, and Sawdust provide effective contrast and tonal balance in coordinated applications.

Muddled Basil in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
