Sherwin Williams

Picnic

SW 6731

Picnic is a mid-tone green from Sherwin-Williams with noticeable blue undertones that give it a cool, leafy quality. With an LRV of 47, it reflects a moderate amount of light, keeping rooms from feeling too dark or too washed out. This shade reads as a natural, slightly muted green and works well in kitchens, sunrooms, and children's rooms where a grounded color is appropriate.

It coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Eider White and Spare White as lighter companions, while Naval and Urbane Bronze provide deeper contrast, and Aqua-Sphere offers a tonal neighbor within the same cool range.
