Give this sample a clear job
Sample Sherwin-Williams Dried Thyme SW-6186 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle herbal green on cabinets, with the countertop in control . Dried Thyme's green with a blue note supports a muted cabinet direction, backed by the manufacturer's own cabinetry suggestion.
Why the butcher block and aged brass relationship matters
Butcher block is both a broad warm surface and a horizontal light reflector, making the board below its edge especially informative.
Dried Thyme has an LRV of 21; Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog SW-9130 is 30. The difference is 9 points, with Evergreen Fog returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Use a large dried Dried Thyme board and inspect it at the darkest intended position. Photograph the area only as a planning record; judge the color in person with the normal lamps. Compare the full painted shape before assuming a small dark chip predicts the room's enclosure.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Compare a vertical cabinet board under the counter overhang before extending the color to every cabinet. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Sherwin-Williams SW-6186 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
