Dash of Oregano

S330-6

Dash of Oregano is an earthy olive-gold, more dried herb than fresh green. Its mid value gives it presence without making the room feel closed in. Yellow leads the mix.

It works on mudroom lockers, a small study, or cabinetry with honed stone. Black hardware, oak, or warm plaster tones keep it grounded. Cool clear white trim can make the olive look muddy, so lean toward creamy whites when possible.
