Blade of Grass

8004-23D

Blade of Grass is a muted olive-tan, not a bright lawn green. The name overpromises freshness. This shade can work in an office, entry, or bedroom where a neutral needs an earthy green lean.

In bigger rooms, it behaves closer to khaki. Use cream trim, black accents, or medium oak. When daylight is limited, add warm lamps so it does not feel drab.
