Rustling Leaves

PPG1123-7

Rustling Leaves is a murky olive-gray with a dry green center. It stays subdued. The shade is useful for built-ins, a small office, or a low-traffic hallway where a standard gray would feel too cool.

On walls, it behaves like a colored neutral rather than a garden green. Warm bulbs can bring out the khaki side. Medium wood and a muted white balance it. Skip shiny finishes unless the surface needs wipeability.

Rustling Leaves 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.
