Olive Green Colors
Olive Green sits between yellow green and brown, muted enough to behave almost like a material color. It shows up on cabinets, studies, exterior trim, upholstery, mudrooms, and rooms with stone or leather.

Using olive green in your home
Olive Green is forgiving, but it can go dull without contrast. Use it in kitchens, dens, bedrooms, entries, or exterior doors with cream trim, black, walnut, clay, or aged brass. North light can make Pale Thistle and Muted Moon look grayer. South light brings out the yellow green warmth. Watch golden oak. Oak can make Olive Green look heavier and more military than intended.
