Desert Springs

PPU10-15

Desert Springs is a bright, pale green-beige that reads fresh rather than creamy. It can open up a kitchen, sunroom, or small hallway without turning stark. The green is delicate.

Set it beside cream-white trim, butcher block, or unglazed tile. Shadier rooms may make it look closer to a soft gray-green. Very yellow bulbs can make the beige side stronger, so check it under the actual lighting.
