Olive Shade

S330-7

Olive Shade is a muted olive-gold with a browned grassy undertone. Consider it for a mudroom, dining room, or painted island when green should feel historic rather than fresh. The mid depth gives walls presence without making them blackish.

Brown shows in shaded corners. In shaded corners, expect more brown. Let a warm white finish and leather support it. Avoid bright yellow decor, because they can muddy the olive.

Olive Shade 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.
