Rosemary

Sherwin-Williams's Rosemary is a green shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. A muted saturation softens the hue, giving it a quieter quality that can sit comfortably among layered neutrals. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
