Sherwin Williams

Shade-Grown

SW 6188

Shade-Grown (SW, hex #4E5147) is a dark, muted green with gray undertones and an LRV of 8, reflecting very little light and producing a deep, grounded appearance on walls. The gray content desaturates the green, giving it an earthy, subdued quality rather than a vivid one. Within the Sherwin-Williams catalog, it pairs with Accessible Beige, Wool Skein, Oyster Bay, Iron Ore, and Sea Salt.

Accessible Beige and Wool Skein offer warm lighter contrasts, while Iron Ore provides a near-black accent. Sea Salt and Oyster Bay share its green lineage at higher reflectance values.
