Sherwin Williams

Sassy Green

SW 6416

Sassy Green is a warm yellow-green from Sherwin-Williams with strong golden-yellow undertones that push it toward an olive-gold appearance. At an LRV of 40, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a saturated mid-tone on walls. The color carries enough green to differentiate it from pure gold shades but remains firmly warm in temperature.

It can work in kitchens, powder rooms, and accent walls where a distinct warm tone is desired. Sherwin-Williams Natural Linen and Filmy Green offer lighter, softer companions, Naval provides a strong complementary contrast, and Java or Nebulous White round out a balanced palette.

Sassy Green 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.
