New Growth

8003-28B

New Growth is a light muted yellow-green, closer to pale celery than sage. The celery cast gives trim and tile a garden-room lift. The color can brighten a laundry room or porch ceiling without becoming neon.

White tile keeps it clean. Warm oak makes it more natural. In dim rooms, the yellow side can turn beige-green, so it needs enough daylight or deliberately warm lighting to keep its lift.

New Growth 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.

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.
