Dark Green Velvet

PPG1136-7

Dark Green Velvet is a deep, muted green with a gray forest undertone. It feels private. The shade works well on cabinetry, a library wall, or a front door with warm metal hardware.

Cream trim keeps it from going too cold. In a matte finish, fingerprints and rub marks may show more than expected. Use good lighting, because the color can close in quickly.
