# Sherwin Williams Meander

Sherwin Williams Meander SW 9522 is a muted mid-tone green with a soft gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than leafy or bright. It reads earthy and slightly weathered in daylight, while north-facing rooms can pull forward its cooler, stonier side. Under warm lamps or late-afternoon sun, Meander takes on a more olive-leaning character. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and lower cabinets, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and woven linen. Pair it with clay-toned neutrals, charcoal, or deep brown for a layered palette that feels connected to natural materials.
