New Avocado

6007-6A

New Avocado is an earthy yellow-green with muted olive character. It has a retro edge. Use it in a kitchen nook or on painted furniture when the space can handle warmth and personality.

Warm white casing keeps the yellow-green from turning sour. Walnut or dark bronze will make the color feel more grown up. In low daylight, it may move toward dull mustard, so give it good lighting.

New Avocado 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.
