Sherwin Williams

Underseas

SW 6214

Underseas is a muted, cool green from Sherwin-Williams with gray undertones that lower its chroma and give it a subdued, nature-derived appearance. With an LRV of 25, it is a darker mid-tone that absorbs a fair amount of light, so it performs best in well-lit rooms or on accent surfaces like cabinetry, furniture, or feature walls. The green base is tempered by its grayish cast, preventing it from appearing too saturated in most lighting.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt and Comfort Gray for a layered cool-toned scheme, while Snowbound provides a clean contrast for trim, and Natural Linen introduces subtle warmth to balance the cooler base.
