# Sherwin Williams Artichoke

Sherwin Williams Artichoke SW 6179 is a deep, muted olive green with noticeable gray and brown undertones that keep it from reading too grassy or bright. It has the look of an artichoke leaf or weathered olive branch—earthy, slightly dusty, and substantial without becoming blackened. In a north-facing room, its gray cast may be more apparent, while warm lamps and late-afternoon sun bring out its softer golden-green side. Use it on kitchen cabinetry, a library wall, exterior shutters, or a dining room where a darker color can ground wood furniture. Artichoke pairs naturally with warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, tan leather, limestone, and rust-toned terracotta.
