Oliva Oscuro

SW 9125

Oliva Oscuro (SW 9125) is a deep muted olive with yellow undertones, registering an LRV of 9. At this low reflectance, it reads as a dark earthy brown-green that absorbs significant ambient light. The yellow undertone keeps it from appearing purely brown, maintaining an identifiable olive cast.

It functions well on accent walls, cabinetry, and exterior doors where a grounded, natural depth is needed. Pair it with Alabaster (SW 7008) or Shoji White (SW 7042) for necessary contrast. It coordinates with Dried Edamame (SW 9122), Sawdust (SW 6158), and Renwick Olive (SW 2815).
