Sherwin Williams

Svelte Sage

SW 6164

Svelte Sage is a muted, warm-leaning green with prominent gray undertones that allow it to read almost as a neutral in many lighting conditions. Its LRV of 41 places it in the medium range, providing enough reflectance to keep spaces from feeling closed in while still offering noticeable color depth. The hex value #B2AC96 reveals a desaturated, olive-influenced green-gray tone.

This color is frequently used on full-room walls, cabinetry, and exterior siding where a subdued natural tone is needed. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Shoji White, Urbane Bronze, and Cavern Clay for layered earth-toned schemes.
