Fickle Pickle
V057-6
Fickle Pickle is a deep yellow-green with an olive-mustard base. It is quirky. Use it in small doses, such as a pantry door, cabinet island, or powder room, where the color can be intentional.
The depth needs light and pale contrast. Keep warm white or dark bronze nearby. In shaded rooms, it may look browner and less green. Large samples are worth the trouble.
