Sherwin Williams

Verdigreen

SW 9042

Verdigreen is a medium-depth green from Sherwin-Williams with blue undertones that give it a cool, teal-influenced appearance. Its LRV of 34 places it in the lower-mid range, absorbing more light than it reflects while providing noticeable saturation. The hex #81A595 shows a muted sage-teal with gray content that prevents it from reading too vivid.

This color is applicable in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a cool green is needed. It works with Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt for a lighter step, Rainwashed as an analogous companion, Alabaster for trim, Pure White on ceilings, and Iron Ore as a dark accent.
