Green Willow

V096-3

Green Willow is a warm olive-tan with a dry straw undertone. The straw-brown undertone works well beside rush seats and clay tile. The color gives walls more character than beige without becoming a true green statement.

Try it in a breakfast room, den, or on painted furniture. South-facing light may bring out the yellow side. In shade, it settles toward taupe. Cream trim works better than cold white. Dark green accents can make the olive direction feel deliberate.

Green Willow 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.
