Shade-Grown
Sherwin-Williams Shade-Grown (6188) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its neutral temperature leaves room for surrounding materials and light to pull the color warmer or cooler. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
