Branching-Out Olive

V093-5

Branching-Out Olive is a deep golden olive brown with a dry natural cast. The golden olive base gives millwork an earthy weight. Use it on cabinets, doors, or a den wall when green should read earthy, not leafy.

Cream trim works well here, especially with aged brass nearby. In low light, the brown side takes over. A satin finish can help the olive stay visible on millwork.

Branching-Out Olive in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
