Sherwin Williams

Overt Green

SW 6718

Overt Green by Sherwin-Williams is a medium-toned green with noticeable yellow undertones that give it an earthy, olive-leaning character. At an LRV of 34, it absorbs more light than it reflects, reading as a definite color statement on walls rather than a background neutral. It is suitable for dining rooms, home offices, or accent walls.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Wool Skein as a warm neutral for adjacent walls, Accessible Beige for trim transitions, Black Fox for a dark contrasting accent, Sea Salt for a lighter green continuation, and Agreeable Gray as a neutral ceiling tone.
