Cedar Glen

S350-7

Cedar Glen is deep olive-brown with a dry bark-like cast, grounded enough for cabinets or exterior trim. In shaded spaces, it can look almost brown. Daylight brings out more olive on vertical surfaces.

Warm wood may blend closely, so add pale counters or lighter walls for separation. Matte paint can go flat on large doors. A little sheen helps the undertone show. The olive needs light.
