Baby Bok Choy

SW 9037

Baby Bok Choy (hex #BBB98A) is a soft, earthy green carrying yellow undertones that push it toward a warm, organic appearance. At an LRV of 47, it falls near the middle of the reflectance range, providing moderate brightness without washing out its green character. The yellow influence keeps it from reading as a true green, lending a slightly aged or herbaceous quality.

Sherwin-Williams Pure White and Alabaster work as clean, high-contrast pairings. Friendly Yellow and Natural Linen complement its warm side, while Secret Garden supplies a deeper green accent for added tonal depth.
