Fiddlehead Fern

6003-6B

Fiddlehead Fern is a mid olive-green with a softened yellow undertone. It feels earthy rather than crisp. Mudroom cabinetry, a breakfast room, or an exterior accent with stone nearby can handle it.

Since it has real depth, white trim helps it read cleaner. Set it beside natural wood or aged brass. In low light, the olive side can turn heavier.
