Sherwin Williams

Sprout

SW 6427

Sprout is a light, warm-leaning green with yellow undertones that give it a soft, muted character. At an LRV of 77, it reflects a significant portion of light and reads as a near-neutral with a faint green cast. The hex value #E4E4CE places it close to the green-beige boundary.

This color is practical for bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where a subtle organic tone is preferred. It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White for a warm neutral transition, Accessible Beige for tonal continuity, Urbane Bronze for a dark accent, Charcoal Blue for cool contrast, and Friendly Yellow for an analogous combination.
