Sliced Cucumber

PPU10-11

Sliced Cucumber is a pale yellow-green gray, soft and vegetal without turning minty. Green stays muted. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and laundry walls where freshness should stay gentle.

Simple white millwork or pale butcher block gives it an easy garden feel. In weak light, the gray side can make it quieter and more neutral. Test beside stone counters, since beige veining can shift it toward celery.

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.
