Lush Meadow

6005-9C

Lush Meadow is a light yellow-green with more garden energy than gray sage. Green shows first. On a kitchen wall or sunroom ceiling, it can feel fresh without turning neon.

The color becomes sweeter in strong afternoon light, so check it beside cabinets before using it widely. Pale maple and white tile keep the mood crisp. Avoid red-toned flooring unless the contrast has been sampled at full size.

Lush Meadow 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.
