Cool Cucumber

V059-2

Cool Cucumber is a light yellow green with a soft, creamy base. It feels fresh, not icy. It can brighten a kitchen, sunroom, or bath without the sharpness of mint.

White trim cleans up the green. Warm wood tones make it more relaxed. In shaded rooms, the color may appear more neutral, so place samples where both daylight and lamp light hit.

Cool Cucumber 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
