Blanched Thyme

6001-4A

Blanched Thyme is a medium muted olive with a gray-brown base. It feels herbal and dry. Use it on cabinets, a mudroom wall, or a small office where sage needs more depth.

The color can read khaki in shade and greener beside warm wood. Choose cream trim or dark bronze. Because the value is deeper than many sages, sample a full board before choosing it for every wall.
