Sherwin Williams

Ryegrass

SW 6423

Ryegrass is a muted, low-chroma green with noticeable yellow undertones that give it an earthy, herbaceous character. With an LRV of 40, it reflects a moderate amount of light, sitting comfortably in the mid-range. The warm yellow bias keeps it from reading too cool, making it suitable for living rooms, home offices, and dining spaces.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage and Softened Green for tonal green layering, Accessible Beige for a warm neutral base, Urbane Bronze for grounding depth, and Shoji White for a clean lighter contrast.
