Sherwin Williams

Stay in Lime

SW 9032

Sherwin-Williams Stay in Lime is a mid-tone yellow-green with noticeable yellow undertones at hex #9FAC5C. At an LRV of 38, it provides enough depth for an accent wall without absorbing too much light. This shade is commonly used in kitchens, playrooms, or sunrooms where a saturated natural tone suits the setting.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Lemon Twist for an analogous grouping, Alabaster on trim, Naval as a deep contrast, Accessible Beige on adjacent surfaces, and Charcoal Blue as a complementary anchor.
