Sycamore Grove

S420-5

Sycamore Grove is a muted green-gray with a cool eucalyptus feel. Consider it for cabinets, bedroom walls, or a mudroom where green should feel adult rather than fresh mint. Work a warmer trim white and black metal into the room.

Under dim lamps, it can become more shadowed and less green. The color is grounded. Brass adds warmth. Test it near blue-green tile unless the undertones are tested together.
