Sherwin Williams

Softened Green

SW 6177

Softened Green is a muted, mid-tone green with gray undertones and a cool temperature. Its LRV of 49 places it near the center of the reflectance scale, providing moderate brightness that neither washes out nor darkens a room. The color sits between sage and warm gray, with low saturation that keeps it from reading as overtly green in many lighting conditions.

It is commonly applied in living rooms, home offices, and bathrooms. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Greek Villa work as trim companions, Urbane Bronze provides dark contrast, Intellectual Gray maintains the cool-neutral direction, and Sage Green Light extends the green family.
