Sherwin Williams

Rock Garden

SW 6195

Rock Garden is a deep, cool-toned green from Sherwin-Williams with gray undertones that prevent it from reading as overly saturated. Its LRV of 8 places it in the dark range, meaning it absorbs most available light and will make walls appear to advance. The gray base gives it a muted, natural quality rather than a bright botanical green.

It functions well as a feature wall in home offices or bedrooms. Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Greek Villa offer high-contrast trim pairings, Rainwashed and Sea Salt provide lighter green transitions, and Naval adds complementary depth.

Rock Garden 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.
