Hazel Gaze
Sherwin-Williams's Hazel Gaze is a neutral shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its green and grey classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
