Sherwin Williams Clary Sage SW 6178 is a muted gray-green with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from feeling cold. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel dark or heavily saturated. In bright daylight, the green reads more clearly, while lower or warmer light can bring out its subdued khaki-gray side. Clary Sage suits kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass. It can also make a grounded choice for cabinetry or exterior siding when paired with creamy whites and darker charcoal accents.
