Cabinet Color Spotlight: Oakmoss (SW 6180)

Grounded, Earthy Sophistication

Sherwin-Williams Oakmoss (SW 6180) is a lush, deep green that captures the look of moss-covered forests. On kitchen cabinetry, it creates a grounded and organic aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for farmhouse, rustic, or lodge-inspired kitchens that embrace natural beauty.

The Undertones of Oakmoss

Oakmoss is a dark moss green with warm, earthy undertones. Unlike jewel-toned greens, it leans into nature’s palette, making it a versatile option for kitchens that need warmth and depth without overwhelming brightness.

Coordinating Colors for Kitchen Design

Light Neutrals

• Alabaster (SW 7008) – a soft white that brightens Oakmoss and adds contrast.
• Creamy (SW 7012) – balances Oakmoss with a warm, welcoming backdrop.
• Pure White (SW 7005) – a clean, crisp neutral for a fresh two-tone look.

Rich Accents

• Iron Ore (SW 7069) – provides bold, modern contrast.
• Urbane Bronze (SW 7048) – adds earthy elegance and tonal richness.
• Naval (SW 6244) – a deep blue that creates sophisticated depth.

Metallics and Hardware

Oakmoss pairs beautifully with brushed brass for warmth, matte black for rustic style, or aged bronze for traditional character.

Countertop Pairings

• White Quartz with Veining: Brightens the cabinetry and keeps the look fresh.
• Black Granite: Creates a bold, dramatic kitchen design.
• Butcher Block: Enhances the earthy, natural tone of Oakmoss.
