Sherwin Williams

Slow Green

SW 6456

Slow Green is a soft, muted green from Sherwin-Williams with cool blue-gray undertones that temper its green base. It has a Light Reflectance Value of 64, meaning it reflects a good amount of light and reads as a light-to-medium tone on walls. The blue-gray influence prevents it from appearing overly leafy or saturated, resulting in a quiet, desaturated green that functions almost as a tinted neutral.

It is well suited for bedrooms, home offices, and transitional spaces. Slow Green coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Pure White, Accessible Beige, Sea Salt, Rainwashed, and Misty across both warm and cool palettes.
