Cool Pine

8003-30D

Cool Pine is a medium muted olive with a gray-yellow base. The name suggests evergreen, but the color is drier and more neutral. It can work in an office, guest room, or built-in cabinet run with warm white nearby.

In low daylight, it may lean khaki. That makes it useful with stone and natural fibers. Black hardware will sharpen the edges. Blue-white trim may make the green look muddier.

Cool Pine 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.
