Sherwin Williams Willowleaf SW 9649 is a muted mid-tone gray with a distinct olive-green cast and a soft yellowed undertone. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and earthy rather than overtly green, giving walls a quiet, weathered look. In bright natural light, Willowleaf can read as a gentle gray-green, while lower or cooler light brings forward its deeper mineral gray side. It suits studies, bedrooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a subdued natural color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, oak, linen, and charcoal accents to support its organic, slightly mossy character.
