Gossamer Green

8004-23A

Gossamer Green is a light cream-gray with a barely green-beige undertone. It barely whispers green. The color can soften bedrooms, halls, or living rooms without looking like a pastel.

It works best when paired with natural wood and warm whites. Cool daylight may make it feel more neutral. Near cream cabinets, the greenish cast can shift yellow, so place the sample beside fixed finishes.

Gossamer Green 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.
