Sherwin Williams

Reseda Green

SW 9040

Reseda Green by Sherwin-Williams is a muted, medium-dark green with gray undertones and an LRV of 26, placing it on the lower end of the reflectance scale. The hex value #75946B reveals an earthy, desaturated green that leans slightly cool without becoming blue. Its low reflectance means it absorbs more ambient light, making it suitable for accent walls, home offices, and bedrooms where a subdued atmosphere is intended.

It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Clary Sage and Contented for an analogous green palette. Alabaster or Shoji White work as contrasting trim colors, and Copper Mountain can introduce a warm complementary accent.
