Nouveau Green

P093

Nouveau Green is a deep golden olive with a mustard-brown base. The color has age. It suits a study or cabinet project when a historical green-gold makes sense.

LRV 23 gives it noticeable depth. Cream trim will calm it. Dark wood makes it richer. In bright sun, the yellow side can pop, so keep surrounding colors restrained and test a large board.

Nouveau 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.

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.
