Carolina Green

PPG1229-7

Carolina Green is a saturated emerald-teal with a clear green direction. It is not shy. Use it where the architecture can carry color, such as a front door, powder bath vanity, or painted hutch.

White trim gives a crisp coastal feel, and walnut makes it more classic. Because it sits in the mid-deep range, low light will make it denser.
