Modern Avocado

V093-4

Modern Avocado is a muted golden olive with a tan-brown base. It feels earthy, not retro-bright. Kitchen cabinets, a study wall, or an entry bench can carry it well.

LRV 30 places it in the darker middle range, so pair it with lighter counters or trim. Warm wood will blend with it. Black accents sharpen the olive. Avoid yellow beige walls nearby if the palette needs contrast.

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.
