What color is Sherwin Williams Dried Thyme?

If you’re stuck between "too beige" and "too dark", Sherwin-Williams Dried Thyme is a really good middle ground. It’s an earthy green that makes a room feel calmer and more pulled together, but it still reads fresh with the right light and finishes. It can look soft and muted on walls, or more structured and "custom" on cabinetry and paneling. This review breaks down how it behaves in real homes, what it pairs well with, and the little details that change it the most.

Dried Thyme for bedroom (5 photos)

Dried Thyme is such a bedroom-friendly green - warm, earthy, and instantly calming without feeling dull. In the photos below, it works in totally different looks: paired with bold floral wallpaper for a more romantic vibe, or used on panelling to add texture and make the room feel more finished. It also plays beautifully with white bedding, natural wood, and soft warm lighting, so the space stays cozy rather than heavy.

Dried Thyme for living room (6 photos)

If your living room has even a hint of Victorian - fireplace, paneling, old trim - Retreat is an easy win. It's a dusty green that makes those details feel intentional without turning the room gloomy. And it looks so good with leather: think a warm cognac/caramel Chesterfield, a clean-lined camel mid-century sofa, or even a rich saddle-brown sectional. It's also super boho-friendly. Layer in a patterned rug, wicker or linen textures, and a couple vintage frames or a gilt mirror, and it instantly feels collected (not "newly decorated").

Sherwin Williams SW 6186 for bathroom (10 photos)

SW 6186 Dried Thyme is such a smart bathroom colour when white walls feel too plain. It brings a soft, earthy green that looks great on vanities, wainscoting, or an accent wall - and it instantly makes the space feel more “finished.”

Best tip: use bright, clean lighting (and plenty of white tile/trim) so it stays fresh, not murky.

Sherwin Williams SW 6186 on kitchen cabinets (13 photos)

SW 6186 Dried Thyme works really nicely on kitchen cabinets when you want a soft, lived-in green instead of a crisp "new-build" look. In the photos below, it leans boho with woven pendant lights and light countertops, but it also fits a more rustic style - think warm wood, open shelving, and slightly vintage hardware. It’s also a great match for floral wallpaper (even just on one wall), because the green grounds the pattern and keeps it from feeling too busy. When you’re choosing finishes, pay attention to the undertone: in cooler daylight it can look more muted, while warmer bulbs bring out a cozier, earthier vibe.

Dried Thyme for exterior (14 photos)

Dried Thyme is a really solid exterior green if you want something calm and timeless, not flashy. It works well on siding, porch floors, garage doors, and front doors - and it looks equally at home next to brick or clean, light trim. Trim color makes a big difference here: white keeps it traditional, while black details push it in a more modern direction.

Tip: paint a large test patch and check it in full sun vs. shade, because outside light can shift the tone a lot.

Dried Thyme isn’t picky about where it goes - it shows up just as well on built-ins and cabinetry as it does on panelling, doors, or a full wall. It’s the kind of green that can either feel clean and modern with simple white walls, or more classic when you add wallpaper, darker wood, and vintage-style details. A good thing to watch for is the finish: matte looks softer and more relaxed, while satin/semi-gloss on trim and furniture makes the colour look sharper and a bit deeper.

LRV of Dried Thyme

Dried Thyme has an LRV of 20.78% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 20.78%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
