Martini Olive

CSP-890

Martini Olive is a vivid yellow-green with an LRV of 43.63, sitting in the mid-range of the light reflectance scale. The hex #BAB761 shows a strong yellow base with green influence, giving it a chartreuse lean rather than a pure olive read. The warm undertone is apparent in natural light, where the yellow component becomes more pronounced.

It harmonizes with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for grounding contrast, works alongside Warm Sienna or Dijon for tonal warmth, and settles down next to Classic Gray or Simply White.
