Bonsai Trunk

N380-6

Bonsai Trunk is olive bark gray. It behaves like weathered brown with a green cast, not like a standard taupe. That makes it useful on office walls or exterior trim.

Low light can make it murky. Crisp contrast at the ceiling line helps. Built-in shelving is another good place for the color. Natural oak draws out the earthy side, but blue-white trim can make the olive undertone look muddy.
