Green Papaya

P320-5

Green Papaya reads as warm golden yellow with a slight green undertone. It feels sunny and tropical. Consider it for a breakfast nook, kids' bath, or accent cabinet where a bright neutral would fall flat.

Because it is quite light, it can cast warmth onto nearby whites. Complete Green Papaya with soft a white trim and natural rattan. Avoid cool gray walls next to it unless the contrast has been tested.

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.
