Fresh Artichoke

8004-21G

Fresh Artichoke is a dark olive-brown that reads more earthy than fresh. It has weight. The color can anchor lower cabinets or exterior shutters with a traditional feel.

A boot room can also handle the depth. LRV 13 keeps it firmly in dark territory, so full rooms need plenty of lamps. Pair it with aged wood or warm limestone. Bright white trim can look abrupt, so compare a softer white first.

Fresh Artichoke 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.
