Sherwin Williams

Surf Green

SW 6473

Surf Green is a medium-depth, cool green with distinct blue undertones that give it a teal-adjacent appearance. Despite the existing description noting an LRV of 37.3, the listed LRV column shows 21, which places it on the darker end of the mid-tone range, absorbing more light than it reflects. The hex value #5F887D confirms a muted, blue-green hue with moderate saturation.

This color is typically used in bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal-themed spaces. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt, Rainwashed, Alabaster, and Naval, supporting both analogous cool palettes and neutral-anchored schemes.
