How they read
In their own wordsAegean Olive is a deep, grayed olive that sits closer to bronze and khaki than to anything leafy. With an LRV just under 12 it behaves like a dark neutral: it wraps a room, dissolves corners and makes cane, rattan and aged brass look expensive. It is the green you choose when you do not want the room to read as green.
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.
