Flora

N390-2

Flora is a light gray-green with a quiet garden feel. It doesn't feel minty. This is a useful wall color for bedrooms, laundry rooms, or calm hallways, especially with natural textures.

Because the chroma is low, it can look nearly neutral in indirect light. Add warm white millwork and wood accents so the green remains clear. Move Flora near hall lighting and closet lighting through the day before final approval.

Flora in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
