Chopped Dill

496

Chopped Dill is a dark green with warm, olive-leaning undertones. Its LRV of 21.03 places it in the deeper mid-range. It can work on cabinets, dining rooms, or study walls where a saturated green is desired in traditional rooms.

Timid White and Swiss Coffee soften adjacent trim and ceilings. Bravado Red is a controlled complementary accent that increases contrast for accessories or textiles.

Chopped Dill 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.
