Fresh Leaf

8004-22D

Fresh Leaf is a muted straw-olive neutral, not a bright green. It reads warm and dry. The color can support a dining room or guest bedroom with natural textures around it.

An entry can use it as a quieter olive note. In low light, it may lean khaki. In sun, the yellow side becomes clearer. Pair it with dark bronze or soft cream trim. Avoid cool gray flooring if the goal is an organic, relaxed room.

Fresh Leaf 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.
