Sherwin Williams

Ripe Olive

SW 6209

Ripe Olive is a deep, muted green from Sherwin-Williams with earthy, cool undertones. It has a Light Reflectance Value of 6, meaning it absorbs nearly all light and reads as a dark, saturated tone on walls. The color sits in the olive-to-forest green range with enough gray to prevent it from appearing vivid.

Due to its low LRV, it works best on accent walls or in rooms with ample natural light. Ripe Olive pairs with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Creamy as contrasting trim whites, Rookwood Gold for a warm accent, and moss-toned greens for earth-based schemes.
