Mallard

8003-35F

Mallard is a dark green with a blue-gray undertone, not a bright duck green. It feels controlled. The color can anchor lower kitchen cabinets, a study wall, or exterior shutters.

LRV 13 means it will read deep even before evening. Use layered light if it covers more than one wall. Natural oak keeps the green from feeling too formal. Crisp white trim gives the edges enough definition.

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.
