Hillside Green

PPU11-17

Hillside Green is a muted gray-green with a khaki undertone. The khaki undertone keeps the sage muted on walls. Hillside Green can work in bedrooms, offices, or hallways where sage should stay subdued.

On cabinets, it reads earthy rather than trendy. Bring in a creamy trim color and matte black hardware. In low light, the tan side may become stronger. Spaces with beige carpet, sample carefully so the green does not disappear.

Hillside Green 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.
