Guacamole
PPG1121-5
Cream trim and butcher block make the avocado note feel earthy, not novelty. Cool gray counters may make the yellow-green look stronger, so test a larger sample board near them.
Color Codes
Guacamole 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
63.2LRV 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.
