# Sherwin Williams Basil

Sherwin Williams Basil SW 6194 is a muted, mid-to-deep green with gray and earthy olive undertones. It has the look of crushed herb leaves rather than a bright garden green, giving walls a grounded, slightly weathered character. In north-facing rooms, Basil can read cooler and more gray-green, while warm afternoon light pulls out its softer olive side. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and kitchen cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, honed stone, linen, and aged brass. For a stronger contrast, pair it with walnut furniture or deep navy textiles rather than stark black.
