Serene Scene

PPG1110-3

Serene Scene is a light olive-yellow with a muted straw base. It reads warmer than sage. The color can add a quiet garden note to a sunroom, breakfast nook, or pantry.

Across larger walls, direct sun can make it look more yellow, with khaki showing in shade. Pair with cream trim and dark bronze. Avoid strong red accents unless the contrast is deliberate, because they can make the green-yellow feel louder.

Serene Scene 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.
