Sherwin Williams

Oakmoss

SW 6180

Oakmoss is a deep muted green with earthy undertones and an LRV of 13, reading as a subdued olive-influenced color at a low reflectance level. The earthy base keeps the green from appearing vivid, making it appropriate for accent walls, built-ins, exterior siding, or den spaces where depth without high saturation is preferred. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Intellectual Gray, Dried Thyme, Sage, and Tricorn Black, supporting organic and natural palettes.

Under warm lighting, the earthy quality strengthens, while cooler daylight emphasizes the green-gray balance more clearly.
