Golden Avocado

3008-5A

Golden Avocado is a saturated ocher-olive with a retro edge. The ocher-olive cast makes the color intentionally retro. Use it where that character is welcome, like a pantry, breakfast nook, or cabinet island.

The color reads more golden than leafy, so do not expect a soft sage. Dark wood suits it. Creamy trim keeps the retro note calmer. In bright sun, the yellow pops harder. A full-size sample will show whether it feels charming or too loud.
