Basque Green SW 6426
Olive this green! Basque Green SW 6426 is a rich olive green. The blend of the deeper yellow and green creates a balanced hue. Basque green is part of Sherwin William’s 2022 Color Forecast as part of the Ephemera collection.
Olive Greens and other rich greens are great in places where one wants to connect with nature or create a comfortable and cozy environment. Green has a strong psychological and physical association with nature. This shade is found in nature and can create a restorative, soothing, or relaxing environment.
The living room image below features Basque Green on the walls and trim. The more transitional wall trim is revamped with the fresh Basque Green paint color. Natural materials, wood accents, natural greenery, and wood furniture pair well with this Basque Green. The result is a dynamic, layered, cohesive, fresh, and inviting gathering space.
Inspiration – Basque Green SW 6426
I stopped in my tracks when I saw this vintage-looking vespa in olive green. The inspiration image of this scooter on the street captures the balancing quality of Basque Green that is bold and calming. Basque Green can pair well with warm neutral creams and soft tans. It also pairs well with other shades of rich greens like deep emeralds and green-blacks.
