Matcha

Matcha reads as a yellow-green with a creamy, tea-like cast. It is cheerful but not pale. The color can add character to a kitchen nook, back entry, or painted cabinet.

Because it is fairly light, it keeps more brightness than deeper olives. Warm bulbs will bring out the yellow side. White tile or natural oak keeps it fresh. Blue-gray accents can push it more acidic, so sample the combination first.
