Retreat
Sherwin-Williams
SW 6207
Retreat is a deep gray-green from the same strip as Sea Salt and Oyster Bay, the moody end of that famously serene family. It reads like dried eucalyptus, organic and grounded, which suits cabinetry, exterior body color, and dens. It is a gentler route to dark green than Pewter Green, with more gray in the mix.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Retreat?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Retreat is Duxbury Gray HC-163 (#7F867F). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Retreat warm or cool?
Retreat is a cool-leaning green heavily tempered by gray. The gray keeps it muted and earthy rather than forest-bright, and in low light it reads close to a green-gray charcoal. With an LRV of approximately 21, it is decidedly deep on walls and cabinets. It harmonizes with warm whites, stone, and natural wood, and it shifts handsomely across the day on exteriors.
Why does Retreat look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #7A8076 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Retreat have?
Retreat has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 21, meaning it reflects about 21% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
