Nocturnal Green

5011-1

Nocturnal Green is almost black, with a very deep blue-green undertone. The color hides in shadow. Use it for exterior shutters or a lacquered cabinet piece when black feels too flat.

LRV 3 means the room must supply contrast through lighting and adjacent surfaces. Warm brass can reveal the green. On a large matte wall, it will read more charcoal than green.

Nocturnal Green 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.
