City Arboretum

6006-4C

City Arboretum is a dark olive brown with a muted yellow-green undertone. It feels urban rather than leafy. Use it for built-ins, cabinets, or exterior trim when black would be too hard.

The color can disappear in weak light, so plan lamps before using it across a whole room. Pale stone and warm white give it breathing room. Natural wood can work, but very yellow oak may make the olive side stronger.
