Emerald Temple

V062-6

Emerald Temple is an almost-black forest green with a cool undertone. Its cool green depth rewards satin sheen and strong trim contrast. Library shelves, an exterior door, or paneled powder room walls can carry it.

LRV 8 puts it firmly in the light-swallowing range, so full walls need more than ceiling light. Pale stone or warm white trim gives the depth some relief. Satin finish helps the color avoid a chalky, flat look.
