Gleeful

P380-5

Gleeful is a fresh yellow-green with enough softness to avoid a highlighter effect. The yellow keeps it sunny. It suits a laundry room, craft space, or garden-facing mudroom where a clean green can feel intentional.

Applied to walls, it may look brighter across a broad surface than it does on the strip. Use white tile and pale maple for a crisp direction nearby. Deep charcoal accents can keep the color from feeling juvenile.

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.
