Sherwin Williams

Shamrock

SW 6454

Shamrock is a deep, saturated green with cool blue undertones that place it firmly in the dark jewel-tone range. With an LRV of 6, it reflects very little light and will appear quite dark on walls, functioning similarly to a near-black green in lower-light conditions. This color is typically used for front doors, accent walls, cabinetry, or exterior shutters where a strong green statement is intended.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Extra White for high-contrast trim, and works alongside Pewter Green, Ripe Olive, and Hunt Club in deep green palettes.
