Leaf Bud

6005-5B

Leaf Bud is a pale celery green with a muted yellow cast. The celery note stays soft. Use it for a breakfast nook, laundry room, or cabinet interior when a small lift is needed.

On broad walls, the yellow becomes clearer. White trim and pale wood work well nearby. If the room has beige tile, sample carefully because the green can turn less clean.

Leaf Bud 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.
