Sherwin Williams

Rosemary

SW 6187

Rosemary is a deep, muted green with cool gray undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 14, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance range. At hex #64695C, it reads as an earthy, olive-influenced green with noticeable gray content that keeps it from appearing saturated. This depth makes it well-suited for accent walls, cabinetry, or full-room applications in spaces with sufficient natural or artificial light.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Shoji White provide high-contrast trim pairings, while Sage and Privilege Green offer tonal green layering, and Pewter Green works as a deeper analogous companion for a layered botanical scheme.
