Sherwin Williams

Verdant

SW 6713

Verdant is a dark, warm-leaning olive green from Sherwin-Williams with strong yellow undertones. The hex #847E35 and LRV of 20 indicate a low-reflectance color that reads as a deep, earthy green-gold. At LRV 20, it absorbs most light and functions as a substantial wall color with considerable visual weight.

This shade is applicable in studies, accent walls, and dining rooms where a deep earth tone is wanted. It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Garden Sage for a lighter green companion, Alabaster for contrasting trim, Green Onyx as a tonal neighbor, Creamy for ceilings, and Naval as a dark accent.
