How it reads

Privilege Green SW 6193 is a muted mid-tone green in Sherwin-Williams' green family, rated for interior and exterior use, with an LRV of 22.64.

In the Bebe Design Studio showhouse rooms on this page, photographed by Robert Peterson of Rustic White Interiors, it covers walls and built-in cabinetry.

What Privilege Green is

Privilege Green SW 6193 is a muted mid green from Sherwin-Williams, hex #7A8775, LRV 22.64.

WC Supply describes it as a "muted, mid-tone green with slight gray undertones", and The Paint Color Project finds it warmer than most grey-greens despite a faint blue-grey cast.

How it behaves in light

Minimal and Modern warns that its grey undertone can drift toward khaki under warm bulbs, and suggests an eggshell or higher sheen in dim rooms.

With an LRV around 23 it reads as a confident colour, not a pale sage.

Where to use it

In the Bebe Design Studio showhouse rooms on this page, photographed by Robert Peterson, Privilege Green runs across walls and built-in cabinetry.

Love Remodeled suggests it for accent walls and furniture, and WC Supply shows it on kitchen cabinets with white oak.

What it sits next to

Sherwin-Williams' coordinating colours are Opaline SW 6189, Repose Gray SW 7015 and Grays Harbor SW 6236. For trim, Minimal and Modern suggests Alabaster, Pure White or Shoji White.

On this site, compare it with Saybrook Sage and Green Smoke. Benjamin Moore Cedar Path 454 is the closest cross-brand match.
