# Sherwin Williams Avocado

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/avocado-sw-2861](https://plan-home.com/color/avocado-sw-2861)

Sherwin Williams Avocado SW 2861 is a muted, medium-depth khaki with earthy olive and brown-gray influences. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than bright, giving walls a softened, slightly weathered appearance. In warm daylight, this color can show more of its golden khaki side, while cooler light may pull forward its subdued gray cast. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a deeper neutral feels more interesting than beige. Pair Avocado with warm white, charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, and woven linen for a layered, material-focused look.
