Blue Cheese Olive

V094-6

Blue Cheese Olive is deep golden olive-brown, muted by a green undertone. The name is odd, but the color is earthy. Use it for exterior shutters, a study wall, or base cabinets when warmth and depth both matter.

LRV 14 makes it a dark choice, so use pale trim and layered lamps. Pair with limestone, aged brass, or warm white. Cool gray can drain it.
