Sherwin Williams

Retreat

SW 6207

Sherwin-Williams Retreat is a muted mid-tone green with cool gray undertones that give it a subdued, organic quality. At an LRV of 21, it absorbs significant light and reads as a relatively dark color, well-suited for accent walls, cabinetry, and exterior siding. Its desaturated hue reads more as a green-gray than a true green, especially in low-light conditions.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for strong light-dark trim contrast, Evergreen Fog as a lighter analogous green, Urbane Bronze for a warm dark accent, Repose Gray for a neutral complement, and Shoji White as a softer warm white trim option.

Retreat 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
