Pistachio

Light pistachio green gives Pistachio 561 a cheerful retro note. Its softened color can also suit a contemporary room with restrained surrounding finishes. Consider it for painted cabinetry or a small bedroom, then sample against white trim to judge the green's strength.

Pistachio 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.
