What Shamrock is
Shamrock SW 6454 is a deep green in Sherwin-Williams' green family, with a hex of #205134 and an LRV of 6.42.
Sherwin-Williams gives no written description. Compositepaint.com describes it as a cool green tone that shows its green most in direct daylight or warm light.
How it behaves in light
At an LRV around 6, Shamrock absorbs nearly all the light that hits it. In dim corners it reads close to black, and in sun it shows a rich emerald.
Compositepaint.com notes that nearby colours and trim pull out the green, so test it alongside your counters, floors and wood.
Where to use it
In the John Ruggiero Studio kitchen on this page, photographed by Gieves Anderson, Shamrock covers the cabinetry, island and range hood, set against a painted landscape mural, white stone and warm wood floors.
Using a colour this deep on cabinetry rather than walls keeps the room bright while giving it a strong anchor.
What it sits next to
Compositepaint.com rates HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams Fresh Arugala as an identical match, with Behr Deep Jungle and Valspar Emerald Temple close behind.
On this site, compare it with Farrow & Ball Duck Green and Calke Green, two other deep greens.
