Oh Pistachio

SW 9033

Oh Pistachio (SW 9029) is a refreshing mid-tone green with yellow undertones, carrying an LRV of 53. At this reflectance level, it maintains enough brightness to function as a wall color without overwhelming a room. The yellow base keeps it warm and approachable rather than clinical.

It works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and sunlit living areas. Coordinate it with Alabaster (SW 7008) for trim, and it pairs naturally with Evergreen Fog (SW 9130), Celery (SW 6421), Sage (SW 2860), and Extra White (SW 7006) in nature-derived palettes.
