Cool Green

6001-6B

Cool Green is a muted olive green with a yellow-gray base. It is not especially cool in the way a blue green would be. A study, mudroom, or breakfast room can use it where an earthy wall color makes sense.

The color has mid-depth, so it needs decent daylight for whole-room use. Cream trim or dark soapstone will ground it. Red-toned wood can make the green feel stronger, so sample beside floors.

Cool Green 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.
